Do not anger the kernel gods, for they will not take
your patch.

You are putting the cart before the horse,
If you want to use a kernel module, please
figure out why first, and work on solving that
problem using standard kernel idioms.

Linus has said that he would take a patch
to add support for win32 system calls if
it solved a real problem.

Albert Calahan mentioned a few possible
benefits in a thread seven years ago:

You might dig around in that thread for ideas.
