I find knfsd is a precedent, isn't it? It contains some compatibility-kludges
(such as the SUNRPC layer used only for nfs) and still the filesystem
operations are AFAIK fully kernel-side.
NFS is a well-established protocol such as the gdbserver one and both need
high performance of their server-side execution.

There is rpc.nfsd as the userland wrapper, I do not find a problem if such
program would exist for ugdb.

The NFS protocol also isn't perfect.
