Reiser4 InterMezzo reimplementation?

I always liked some of the ideas behind InterMezzo -- particularly,
using it as a secure alternative to NFS and being able to have a huge
cache.  In fact, it can be exactly as fast as local FS access for cached
files.

Unfortunately, InterMezzo seems (very) poorly maintained, and may not
play nice with Reiser4.  Could a Reiser4 plugin be written to do this?

I know this was mentioned before, and it was marked for a later version
(5, 6, 7, or something) -- but could some basic functionality be written
quickly that would be extensible enough to be able to "upgrade" to this
new version?

(Think if someone were to add ..meta to reiser3, but not plugins,
dancing trees, or anything else.)

CODA would work, AFS would work.  Lustre or InterMezzo would work if
they were available in a stable form for the 2.6 kernel.  I just think
it'd be faster with reiser4 as the cache.
