user space drivers

Hi,

I am thinking of rewriting few traditional Linux drivers  as user space drivers. The idea is to mmap the hardware register region and then   use them. Other than interrupt dispatching, can anyone tell me what all other issues I may encounter.  The intention to do that is to avoid any system call overhead and overhead with copy_to_user/ copy_from_user. I am using an embedded board with no swapping. Any insights will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nilanjan
