[Haskell-cafe] Linux device drivers

I was wondering about the possibility of using Haskell for developing device drivers that would be kernel modules for Linux. If nothing else, it would be quite an educational experience for me, as I've not yet experimented with either the Linux kernel or Haskell FFI, nor have I had to learn how to squeeze much performance out of my Haskell code. Clearly, this application demands special things from the compiler and the runtime. But, I'm not exactly sure what, nor how to achieve such given current compilers. Does anyone have any thoughts?
