lseek in kernel space

[Lior Kesos <lior@kesos.net>]

I'm writing a module that accesses some kernel structures upon loading  
in a 2.6x kernel.
I need to jump some offsets forward from a memory address (idtr) do I 
_have_ to use file operations and the whole block/char registration 
thingies or can I lseek somehow without this.
I tried generic_file_lseek but am getting segfaults
