The main problem you have if you try this is that the MPEG Data is in
xa/form2 sectors (they are *not* 2048, but 2324 bytes long). The whole
VFS layer is tuned to 2^n block sizes, therefore the MPEG Data sectors
do not fit. It is really hard do map these to "normal" files. That's
why we are currently reading these sectors with ioctls. The userfs
thing is just a wrapper around this.
