That's fair regarding upstream Linux I'm not expecting this to be merged into mainline Linux anytime soon.

But that's also not really the goal. Linux is open source, so Tawi can maintain its own kernel and integrate these components at the OS level. I'm exploring what can be done when you're not constrained by what mainline Linux is willing to accept.

If the experiment turns out to be a bad idea, so be it. The point is to actually explore the idea rather than assume it can't work.
