-- we need a clear memo as part of your change-logs and/or cover-letter/s that
explains the overall approach/design for
doing-things-without-changing-the-kernel,
does this exist?

Yes, the DEVX series that was previously accepted clearly stated that this is its target as part of its cover-letter [1]. This motivation appears also as part of this specific commit log.

From the cover letter:
"The main purpose here is to make the user space driver as independent as possible from the kernel so that future device functionality and commands can be activated with minimal to none kernel changes.
