[$] A FUSE implementation for famfs

Description:
The famfs filesystem is meant to provide a shared-memory filesystem for large 
data
sets that are accessed for computations by multiple systems.  It was
developed by John Groves, who led a combined filesystem and
memory-management session at
the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory
Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF) to discuss it.  The session was a
follow-up to the famfs session at last year's
summit , but it was also meant to discuss whether the kernel's direct-access 
(DAX)
mechanism, which is used by famfs, could be replaced in the filesystem
by using other kernel features.
