[QUESTION] Filesystem like structure in RAM w/o using filesystem (not ramdisk)

Hello!

As I have understood the accessing ramdisk goes through the same kernelpath which is meant for accessing slow block device (i_nodes caching etc.).Is there any other common way (some API above shared memory?) tocreate/open/read/write globally accessible hierarchical datablocks in RAM?

Could it be possibly faster than ramdisk?

Thanks in advance,
Indrek
