To be honest, I'd like to see all command processing at user level (including read/write ... for block devices, it shouldn't be that inefficient, since you're merely going to say remap an area from one device to another; as long as no data transformation ever occurs, the user never touches the data and it all remains in the kernel page cache). My ideal for the kernel based infrastructure is a simple tap for transporting commands addressed to devices upwards (and the responses downwards). Then everyone can have their own user space processing implementation that I don't have to care about.
