The user cannot easily kill a root owned process only their own. And if you are trying to stop the device owner from accessing their own hardware then I hope you have good lawyers. It's hard to give any advice with such little info - the threat model is critical to this, whether it is something like POS and disabling unauthorised devices on a cash till, whether it is virtualisation or even security devices.
