How about implementing some kind of "program interpreter" which - analogous to what /lib/ld.so.1 does for ELF executables and libs - the process of searching the path, security issues, /etc/ld.so.cache style cache for faster searching the patch etc? This approach would be more flexible than a kernelspace implementation though slighly less performant.
One could piggyback that onto the kerneld mechanism, I think. But it is not clear how one would use it. Do you have any ideas in mind?
