Hi!
The Linux compatibility layer, aka Linuxolator, is for running userland
Linux binaries on FreeBSD. I think what you're looking for is the Linux
KPI, or lkpi. I believe Mellanox network card drivers are using this,
and I know the drm-kmod graphics drivers are. This might be a starting
point for you.
