Having user mode and kernel mode is not a bad thing in general, why do you want to avoid it? Speaking for Linux, you should always try to design your system in a way that you have most of your application code in user space. The operating system helps you to protect the machine against bugs in your application - why don't you want to use this feature? Nevertheless, you are free to write your application as a kernel module. Realtime programs do that on Linux, but they have several restrictions about what they can use of the system's infrastructure (e.g. libc routines).
