    [$] Considering kernel pass-through interfaces

    Description:
    The kernel normally sits firmly between user space and the system's
    peripheral devices, and provides a standard interface to those devices. At times, though, a more direct interface to a device is desired but such interfaces can be controversial. At the 2024 Maintainers Summit, the
    assembled developers considered a specific case the proposed fwctl subsystem
    as well as the role of such
    drivers in general.
