Disclaimer: *I know very little about file systems*

With all the discussion about porting ReiserFS and other filesystems to 
OpenSolaris I wondering whether it is possible to have a glue code in the 
kernel that can delegate all the filesystem operations to the user-level code 
and do it in a safe manner (meaning that a bug in the filesystem code should 
not bring down the whole system)? This will allow easy additions of new file 
systems to OpenSolaris and may (***) allow some GPL-ed file system code in 
user-land. Not that I know how to write such glue code.

(***) Please do not see this as an opportunity to start another GPL vs CDDL 
      discussion.
