Yeah, I agree.

It is pretty hard to even evaluate whether this should be in kernel or
could handled by the user space (perhaps with something less intrusive
added to the kernel).

With cover letter starting with not one but two three letter acronyms
that are not common vocabulary is already a red flag for me at least.

A lot more clarity is needed on what the heck this thing is anyway.
