Even KIOslave has it. They even support sftp and stuff just by using
shared files in /tmp in reality. That's a much saner interface than
doing it all in the kernel.

I mean, the kernel is supposed to support access to the disk
drives. Who says that it's got to be the uppermost VFS level? You can
be perfectly happy to build your own VFS on top of it (or use other's
implementations, that is.)

I can already see people moving to FreeBSD if this gets implemented
into the kernel...
