And now I remember why I didn't go down that path earlier. Relayfs is one-way
kernel->user and lacks the ability to send query commands from user space

(even a syscall) or try and ensure that the exiting genetlink interface can
scale better with message volume (including throttling).

Refer to my other email - whatever it takes to store "bulk" data in the
kernel is subject to the constraint of the fact memory is finite.
You can send messages from the kernel in sizes constrained by the memory
socket size. You can tune the socket size.
