Maybe it would be easier to write a FUSE driver?
Same amount of work to get it into the mainline, I guess.

FUSE is FileSystem in UsErspace. You don't put it in mainline at all, it has
ports to the BSDs and OSX in literal form, and a similar system for Windows is
Dokan.
However, FUSE is a poor match for a socket API. CUSE (Character devices in...)
doesn't match any better.
