Yes, there is already an almost complete read-write driver [willing to beta test? ;)] but it runs only on NetBSD, not yet Linux. The reason, NetBSD was the development platform is that, it's the only non-Microsoft OS that have been ported to the hardware architecture needed to satisfy Longhorn resource requirements.
