As sorry, you are reimplementing kernel interfaces, so that's a no.

NAK, I don't care about your users. You re-implemented existing ABI.
Without any ABI docs that's just pure duplication.

Which one is insufficient?

Please point to which ABI is not sufficient.

Because especially this one sounds like you are mocking us.
