This is not possible. And well, as others may advice, not at all logical. If you really need access to kernel data-structures and you feel your code needs to be called in middle of some kernel code path, a better decision might be to include your code in the kernel space itself. Sitting in the userspace, the closest you can get to it is using call_usermodehelper() that allows you call a userspace binary.
