Ok thanks, I've been able to find the character device under
"/proc/sys/DosDevices/Global/deviceName"; now I'm stuck with the mmap
implementation; when I do mmap in the userland program it returns me
errno 19 (#define ENODEV      19  /* No such device */) obviously because
I haven't set anything in the kernel module; there's a way to make visible a
portion of memory to be used by the mmap in the kernel? The memory is Non Paged
and allocated with a ExAllocatePoolWithTag in 'win terms'.
