1. I've been reading some other support threads that you answer, and wow, you are really unimaginative and constrained. Yes, the pattern can be done from userspace, very slowly. Too slowly to be useful in fact. When someone asks a question, the best thing to do is answer the question and don't try to second-guess their motives or say "don't do it that way" when you don't know why they're doing it that way, or what the big picture of what they're doing is, which most people aren't going to be telling you for a simple question.
2. No, I'm not creating a general kernel API, I'm creating something that only I will be using, for my purpose, so it can be "incorrect" or "not quite right" if I want. As I said, if you know of some other way to get a block of binary data into the driver, feel free to suggest it, but this way works great and will end my headache, so I don't care if it's proper. 3. Proprietary code is not published.
