I haven't said it's impossible, but your message even more convinced me
that it's a pain in the a** and not worth the effort. In userspace I
have
a hell lot of infrastructure already present (think dynamic linker for
starters), which I'd have to duplicate in part. Also, floating point
in the kernel or even in an interrupt handler isn't such a good idea
anyway.

So the easiest route is to add some sort of interface between kernel and
user
space.
