Hi Luke,
I enjoyed your recent talk at OxLUG in which you mentioned this briefly. Could you please send me the source that you are working on so that I can take a look and make suggestions if tha'ts useful - I posted to the OxLUG list but you're not actually on it and although I now have your address from someone, this post reminded me.
I've copied lkml for two reasons - a). Someone else might want to take a look. b). I sat and talked with Luke for a while about this, he's not a typical "I want to do stuff in the kernel I should be doing from userspace" kind of person in my opinion (there might still be a better way but until I see more what he's actually doing then I can't work out what).
