To pass data from kernel space to user space we can use netlink
sockets. Is there a better or efficient mechanism than netlink in
2.6?? Please advice.
As far as I'm concerned, the best way to pass data from kernelspace to
userspace is through the use of the userspace read(2) syscall.

On the other hand if you want to use/access the kernel space data
without copying it to user space, you can use Mmap!
