    Hello,
    How can I access the filesystem from a kernel module ?
    In fact, I want my device driver to retreive a firmware image stored on the
    filesystem (instead of putting the firmware data in a static array at
    compile-time) for memory usage and legal concerns. Blocking calls are OK.
    I have searched the manpages and the web, but I haven't found anything
    relevant.
    Thanks,
    Sebastien
