i'm currently implementing a "userland disk" for openbsd (inspired by 
pawel's talk) which should be able to communicate with geom gate.  the 
idea is basically the same, an ioctl interface passes read/write requests 
to a userland daemon.  depending on the daemon attached, it could show up 
as a networked device, or ccd, or something else entirely, maybe even 
a gbde replacement.
