The best way would be making your user-space application into a
library and then using any of current FSAL (Ceph, Posix etc) as
example of how to mate the library with the rest of the code.

Second best is to use the protocol your clients are using now to talk
to your application and write an FSAL which will be bridge the gap
between Ganesha and your application - at least you only need to
implement protocol once in your application.

And as the last resort inventing a new protocol to add to your
application.

I don't think Proxy FSAL is going to be of any use for you - it's
using NFSv4 and if you have NFSv4 support in your application already
then usefulness of Ganesha as protocol handler is reduced quite
severely.
