I once (1.3.64) hacked fs subtree with ext2, minix, msdos and vfat to work
(to some degree) in user mode by writing stubs for kmalloc, ll_rw_block and
friends. It could "mount" filesystem, read directory entries and stat. I
guess this way you could do some testing, make the fake device return
errors at random times etc.

If anyone is interested, drop me a note.
