NetBSD rump Anykernel - now on AUR

The rump anykernel is a pretty neat technology where netbsd drivers and file systems can be run in userspace.
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/rump/

I have now packaged a working variant of this in AUR
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/netbsd-rump-cvs/

What I hope to do with it is a proper UFS support for linux, but there might be far more smart things that one can do with  it

Especially stuff like "sandboxing" a TCP connection or running some applications entirely in userspace "microkernel style" should according to the documentation be possible

It would be really cool to see a wider adoption of this (including binary redistribution).
