Why would you want to do that in the kernel. There seems to be an urge to
solve a problem in kernel space that I think belongs higher up.


Think


                        App

                        App Libraries

                Common API Library (eg SANE)

        Per Scanner Driver Interfaces

[Kernel]

        Scanner driver   /      Direct usbdevfs access


Commonality can be done in nice pageable easy to debug user space
