Something like that could be easily added to 
boot-floppies/scripts/rootdisk/prototype/bin/lazybox.

Could you gather up the fuser use cases so we can get an
idea of what it needs to do?  For example, to kill pcmcia-cs
on the boot floppies root disk, the following is sufficient
    kill `ps fax | grep "[i]nit"`

We can certainly cobble together a set of lazybox scripts to
handle the main use cases of the pcmcia stuff...
