Hi!
The Linux compatibility layer, aka Linuxolator, is for running userland 
Linux binaries on FreeBSD.  I think what you're looking for is the Linux 
KPI, or lkpi.  I believe Mellanox network card drivers are using this, 
and I know the drm-kmod graphics drivers are.  This might be a starting 
point for you.
