That's a much saner interface than doing it all in the kernel. I mean, the kernel is supposed to support access to the disk drives. Who says that it's got to be the uppermost VFS level? You can be perfectly happy to build your own VFS on top of it (or use other's implementations, that is.) I can already see people moving to FreeBSD if this gets implemented into the kernel...
