Once upon a time we considered it. I think we figured that the
pioctl wouldn't be accepted as implemented and that it would take
more work to get the rest of the code in shape and accepted than
we had resoures for. Maybe it would be good to use existing code
in the kernel, such as FUSE or the caching infrastructure
developed for kAFS.
If you want to give it a try, go ahead.
