I'm not an expert on these matters (yet =) but a userfs seems like a
good idea to me. I was looking through the isofs code yesterday (trying
to see if minor mods to it would allow me to mount an .iso file, until I
remembered vn devices) and the TODO was talking about implementing it
into userfs. Maybe whoever is working on isofs has made a start on a
userfs...
