Are you locked on using syscalls?
Unless you really require syscalls, I'd imagine that it's far easier to
use ioctl's instead (doesn't require a custom kernel), and use
filp_open / filp_close / file->read / file->write to access files from
within kernel space.

Two more things:
1. I'd avoid using stack based allocations in kernel mode. (Down to 8KB
in certain situations)
2. Always check error codes.
