That's very bad, don't do that. How big are your preferences? Can you make an I/O Kit kext for your filesystem (match on IOBSD) and get your prefs via the kext's info.plist?
Is there any reason you can't defer your registration, so use OSKextRequestResource but use the completion context rather than the context that called your start routine to complete your startup?
