+      <p>LKL ("Linux Kernel as a Library") is a special
+	"architecture" of the full Linux kernel that builds as a
+	userspace library on various platforms, including &os;.  One
+	application of such a library is using Linux's filesystem drivers
+	to implement a FUSE backend.</p>
+
+      <p>fusefs-lkl's <tt>lklfuse</tt> binary is such a FUSE
+	filesystem.  It can mount <tt>ext4/3/2</tt>, <tt>XFS</tt>, and
+	<tt>BTRFS</tt> read-write, using the native drivers from
+	Linux.</p>
+
+      <p>The <tt>sysutils/fusefs-lkl</tt> port may now be installed from
+	packages or ports, providing access to these filesystems on
+	&os; via FUSE.</p>
