What was Linus' objection about?

So, I was talking with Avati about gluster the other day, which makes
pretty heavy use of FUSE and reportedly hits bottleneck due to the
double data copy on high bandwidth configurations.  We were talking
about ways to reduce data copy.  The only obvious thing to do is
mapping the page cache pages into the server address space for both
page-cached backed and O_DIRECT files, so at least we do have a much
stronger use case for mmapping pages into server address space.  If
direct mmapping is the way to go, I can dust off my old patches.  What
do you think?

Thanks.
