It would need to know the accel, velocity and position limits for the
axes too, and perform at least simple trajectory control.

I don't think that recording the path is necessarily easy either. A
decision would need to be made on whether to record timewise or
distance-wise. In the former case you use memory indefinitely. In the
latter case, how to choose resolution?

I don't think kernel memory is all that cheap either, and the
component would have to kmalloc the correct amount ahead of time.

The idea that there is no such thing as objective truth is, quite simply, wrong.
