There is no hardware device, so yes it is an arbitrary use. The data is going into kernelspace and being sent to the RPC module and what happens after that isn't relevant to anything. It can get into kernelspace in any way that works.
The documentation is not clear, nor straightforward for me. Maybe it's great for you, but it's not explaining it to me very well. All I need is an example that is in use in the actual kernel code, not some hypothetical that has pieces of code across many pages.
