It is an interesting idea to make the databases available as a filesystem,
but note that doing so would put us even more on the "too early" side. :-)
This would mean that parsing and building of individual database record
formats would also need to be in the kernel. I hadn't assumed that would be
the case originally, but if so, only about 4 databases have been reverse
engineered so far. This seems a bit much to put in the kernel.
Alternatively, the driver would stop at the "Address Book" level
in the above filesystem example. You could read and write raw
records, such as:
cat "/sys/.../blackberry/$DEVICEPIN/Address Book/$RECORDID"
or
cat "/sys/.../blackberry/$DEVICEPIN/Address Book/$RECORDINDEX"
... as ID's can have duplicates.
Then use some userlevel library to do the parsing and building.
