Do you have any particular use case in mind here? I don't mind putting in
the work to get the driver upstream, but I don't want to be fighting people
to convince them that it's needed. I'm not even sure about it myself.

Now that some current use cases have already been provided, I'm curious about what the biggest obstacles are at present. APFS in the kernel should have better performance than a FUSE implementation. Are there any TODO items moving forward in this direction, such as IOMAP support and other similar things? I can't guarantee that I have a lot of time to invest heavily in this at the moment, but there should be others who are interested.

Thx,
Yangtao
