I believe he is suggesting the addition of an sshfs, ftpfs, webdavfs, etc. to the kernel, and allowing unprivileged users to mount these filesystems. (As a side note, I find it somewhat peculiar that he includes smbfs in an example, since that is already implemented in the kernel.) Although he refers to possible implementation of these facilities as reiserfs 4 plugins, it would seem far more straightforward and useful to implement them as separate filesystems. In fact, many of these facilities already exist as filesystems for Linux. For instance, there is an sshfs program for FUSE, and FUSE already provides the unprivileged mounting support mentioned in the proposal.
