It seems like we'd want to start with the exisiting (presumably bitrotten) prototypes that Trond has for nfs and that Martin has for block->scsi. Mash the new syscall on top of and get them working in current mainline.
I'd be happy to take responsibility for making forward progress if no one else has the bandwidth.
Trond, Martin, would that make sense? Are the most recent versions of the prototypes available somewhere?
