I am stuck with this on account of some parallel FFT infrastructure,
and I agree that the packing/unpacking to perform linear algebra is a
PITA.

I think, but am not 100% certain, that I have seen a PETSc
presentation discussing automated APIs for accomplishing such things.
I'm not good enough with PETSc to dig out the details from their
documentation.
