As I suspected it's not the same job than libsolid. That said the part 
managing "drives and volumes" looks more like what we have in kfile. I'm not 
sure it can be shared though, we used to have it in kio and it proved to be 
painful imo. So at that point I'm more in keeping the way I'm preparing it 
for 4.0.

Note, that technically it would still be possible to use the gvfs stuff if we 
find it useful at a later point.

Also not the job of libsolid. It could be done higher in the stack.
