Ok, Tomo and I briefly talked about this when we saw Jeff's post about 
doing block layer drivers in userspace on lkml. I think we were somewhat 
prepared for this given some of your other replies.

So Vlad and other target guys what do you think? Vlad are you going to 
continue to maintain scst as kernel only, or is there some place we can 
work together on this on - if your feelings are not hurt too much that 
is :) ?
