The ones I've seen haven't been to pretty - basically they do something
like
audiofs_read()
{
mm_segment_t old_fs = get_fs();
set_fs(KERNEL_DS);
sys_ioctl(fd, CDROMREADAUDIO, cdrom_read_audio_buf);
set_fs(old_fs);
...
}
and stuff like that. It would be hard to pass that data in the
buffer cache... Besides, why do we need one?
