Well, from my point of view, I would see this as some strong
geom modules. ggate already allows to export disk devices as
ggate instances.

One of my project (in the long term) is to be able to use
RAID scheme through the network. I think geom is the way to go
to manipulate I/O path. This could let us create RAID over IP
without FS knowledge.
