The implementation looks OK. I'm not necessarily convinced about the concept
though, but the code is manageable so I guess it is OK.

The final version should add kernel API documentation for the new functions.

should be unsigned.

You could factor the lookup out into a helper function that is used for both
read and write. And also stop searching once a match was found.
