So we are discussing driver development here? That often happens in
kernel space even under Xenomai. Already studied RTDM for your purposes?
It will even leave the door open to put your applications into the
kernel - though we would surely not recommend this as first choice.

It is very serious because most of the user-space services are
internally built upon the same functions that are available to kernel
space as well. And if you ever happen to hit a corner case that was
untested and buggy, we are awaiting your report and will work hard to
fix any remaining issue (of course, we will be even more happy when
receiving patches ;) ).

No need to excuse, it isn't bad.
