There are some prelimiary patches for this on my web page. http://www.freebsd.org/~nrahlstr/suser.patch I had been working with Eivind on it, but I have not had time as of late. The patch that is there should be close to commit ready modulo a decsion to use suser vs. suser_xxx. If anyone is interested in committing this patch, I can work with them/clean it up if necessary. Thanks!
