GP Commit Tax Ideas - Roth IRAs and Trust Funds

Has anyone used a Self Directed Roth IRA to cover their GP Commit to a fund? Seems like a good way to tax efficiently invest in a PE fund. You would need to manage the capital in it a good bit but might be worthwhile given high theoretical returns. Also a way for VP-level to hit demanding GP commit numbers Partners expecting out of them. Anyone done this or seen it done?

Another one - has anyone formed a trust fund for children they haven't had yet and then funneled some of their GP commit through this? Believe there may be some tax and estate planning benefits.
