The reasons to not do file I/O from inside the kernel are many and well documented. Of course, if you're trying to do something like unionfs or fuse, you may not have a choice. And if you're doing something like that, it is probablly better to *avoid* using the sys_* calls even if they are available, but instead use filp_open() and the vfs_ functions.
