Give your filesystem an NFS server interface.  An NFS server listens
for SunRPC/UDP packets and replies with more of the same.  You can't
get better isolation from the kernel than that.  Better, it uses the
very portable Berkeley Socket interface, so the same code could run on
Linux, HP/UX and Windows with a few tweaks.  It can be network
transparent if you want, or it can be restricted to localhost.
