I'd like to have something like the Registry on WinNT (only faster); a tree
structure with settings that are getable and setable from both user and
kernelspace at any given time. OK, maybe I'm asking for a bit much here but
our driver depends on information to be read or written at any time since
our USB driver will not be loaded at boot-time.

FYI...
I was going to work on a generic framework for this as a project under
OpenDarwin. I don't think it will be ready in the next couple of months
but some day soon...
Let me know of your requirements for such a beast (I have similar needs
in drivers that I am writing but not on a per users basis).
The following is from a project idea listing I sent to OpenDarwin
hackers list...
- Driver configuration information framework
Provides a framework for the setting, getting and persistent storing of
driver configuration information. The main setters would come from user
mode applications/preference panels/installers and the getters would be
in kernel component/drivers. A main requirement is the ability to get
config information to drivers at boot time. Secondary requirements are
the ability to store per user config information for those drivers that
change depending on logged in user.
Currently every driver vendor that needs driver configuration
information has to implement their own method. This project would
attempt to provide a standardized and tested way of doing what is needed.
