Hallo Frank,

As long as the generic driver is not completely realtime capable and the
kernel interfaces shall be maintained, there are strong arguments to
keep a significant part of the master code in kernel-space.

I'm not conviienced that a significant part of the master code must be in the kernel space! I did recently an integration of the openPowerlink stack and the userspace driver of Intel's i210 board as used within the DPDK project. It is working in real-time under PREEMPT_RT LINUX after solving problems with the different buffer systems.

A similar solution should also be possible with EtherCAT ..
