Do you mean you are not developing a device driver but need to implement something like a system call to comunicate with the userland? Under 2.6.x, we intend to do the same using kobjects which somehow show up in the /sysfs (o some other) filesystems. However, as I have told you, we haven't done it yet and I am actually not the person supposed to write it, therefore I can only tell you that there is a good file in the Documentation directory of 2.6 kernels that describes i.
