FWIW; While kdbus seems to be in a somewhat flaky situation in other communities, we still have interest in *some* form of IPC for the kernel, or perhaps something mixed kernel/userland. One such mechanism could be Solaris doors, which were implemented for linux but never caught up much steam: http://www.rampant.org/doors/ I think there was also something interesting done for a microkernel (L4?) and it was made compatible with an Apple's Darwin Mach ports. It's an interesting topic for research, but if you want to do it as a GSoC you will have to discuss this with the mentor from the GSoC ideas page. Pedro.
