I was thinking of not naming it uio at all


U mean doing something completely orthogonal to UIO? And how did u thing to access bars? With UIO or implement this functionality in the new configfs too?
If yes - then it will essentially be UIO with MSI-X support, won't it? ;) It'll also be the third user-space drivers infrastructure and I'm not sure there is enough motivation add it.
Note that "some on this thread" are claiming that even two is too many... ;)
