Compared to other operating systems, such as Mac OS, BeOS,

No, right now, Linux has the best latency numbers _by far_ than any
other operating system, so we can move stuff to userspace.
And again, it's your legal issues that are forcing you that way, if you
change that, putting everything in the kernel would be fine :)
(Since this came to me via the libusb list, and we've kind of
gone past libusb-specific-related discussion, I thought I'd
add another question to the thread).
What's the rationale behind the dichotomy between userspace
and kernel licensing models?
