[$] 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.
