actually want to write a module for handling request for this virtual bus which in turn will convert requests into normal file I/O by calling VFS api, which in turn will do normal disk I/O on it this time with no intervention of my module or my virtual bus.
yes finally i am realising this :-)
thanks for the help

What do you mean by "subsystem"?

If you are talking about the kobject subsystem stuff, then no, you can
not, as the subsystem code is used internally by the driver core to
create busses and drivers and devices.
If you mean something else, please expound.

What specifically about the kobject_uevent() function needs to be
explained? You call it when you want to emit the event, and the kobject
core also calls it when different things happen to kobjects,
automatically.
It really isn't that complex :)
