FYI, a few years ago I spent some time helping a customer to prepare
their block device in userspace using fuse code for upstreaming, but
at some point they abandoned the project. But if for some reason we
don't want to use nbd I think a driver using the fuse infrastructure
would be the next

FYI, my other main worry beside duplicating nbd is that device mapper

What is the advantage over simply using nbd?
This patch set contains dm-user, a device mapper target that proxies incoming
