kernel portion of puffs - the Pass-to-Userspace Framework File System.
It contains the VFS attachment and userspace message-passing interface.

This work was initially started and completed for Google SoC 2005
and tweaked to work a bit better in the past few weeks. While
being far from complete, it is functional enough to be able and
stable to host a fairly general-purpose in-memory file system in
userspace. Even so, puffs should be considered experimental and
no binary compatibility for interfaces or crash-freedom or zero
security implications should be relied upon just yet.

The GSoC project was mentored by William Studenmund and the final
review for the code was done by Christos.
