Why? Methinks a library would suffice, especially for trivial archive formats (ar comes to mind). There's no need for special kernel involvement, except perhaps to make it transparent --- and a stdio extension to allow transparent redirection of I/O for specially-configured (FILE)s would solve that one just as well.
