This question may be completely off the wall, but:

How hard would it be to integrate a daemon into the kernel source. I have
a program that lets me use my braille display (I'm totally blind) with
linux. It runs as a daemon and it would be nice to have it activate when
the kernel loads. I can load it in the start-up files, I just wanted to
know if it is possible and how hard it would be. It uses a device file
/dev/vcsa0 and uses the serial ports to access the display. It would have
to activate after the console is initialized because the daemon reads the
consol display.
