Why not use DMAPI? Maybe you could implement it for other FS like ext3, and move it to the VFS layer. That would benefit the most people.

We have developed a stackable filesystem kernel module for a HSM application. The role of the filter module is to intercept operations between VFS and file system. It then sends events to userspace when these are invoked. We are using ext3 or reiserfs for bottom file system and are evaluating XFS, since it provides all required functionality (extended attributes, journals).
