If people of RTEMS trust me, I would like to make it a long term plan, but
at current stage, I feel I am not experienced enough to undertake that.

Redesign FS infrastructure for an OS is really a serious task, though in
RTEMS, IMFS and jnode provide a good start point - they in fact accomplish
lots of work the VFS layer does. Maybe, after sufficient work on FIFO, file
descriptor, and aio, I will be more comfident of trying.

Thanks,
Wei Shen
