It does not.
A performance margin looks like the only practical reason for putting it
into the kernel.

It might be worthwhile to figure out what is needed to cooperate with the
VFS File System Abstraction Layer in Ganesha (an NFSv4 capable server
in user space on Linux and FreeBSD) or otherwise if a new NetBSD specific
FSAL could fit the bill.
