SK> I have another short question -- is there ANY way to open/read/write

Yes. For example, take a look at kHTTPd (http://www.fenrus.demon.nl),
which does exactly this.
SK> sys_read calls the the filesystem's read function, which uses
SK> copy_to_user (since it assumes it is invoked from user space through
SK> a system call).
See the "set_fs" stuff in kHTTPd.
