Not quite. Fuse is for file(systems). You can then use loopback to make
a block device out of a file but that lacks features one might want,
like barriers.

A BUSE implementation would be really nice but afaik does not exists. I
would hope that it would include zero copy methods and splicing to move
the data to/from and actual device and access to the crypto engine
(e.g. hardware AES for a block of data).

Please, some implement a BUSE. :)
