Interesting scheme. Not however impossible to handle. As far as Linux is concerned so long as something talks to the VFS layer as a filesystem it can do what it likes below. Thus you can have a file system that sits over an ext2fs making calls through to ext2 but which hooks itself into the namei handling to do type handlers.
