Just a thought - all the discussion so far has assume that there are only two options: running the mod/demod in user space, or compiling it as a traditional kernel module, distributed with the kernel tree.
A third possibility, although not necessarily a good one, exists - you could make a simple enough interface to the DSP code from the rest of the driver that it wouldn't change between kernel versions (& especially wouldn't need spinlocks, etc. for SMP because it would be single-threaded). This would have the advantage of allowing the DSP modules to be distributed and compiled as part of a user-space package, as they would work across all kernel versions with the same rev of the softmodem driver.
