	So we're talking about a computing-heavy program.

	As said by Seth it doesn't need to be in the kernel to improve speed.

	As far as scheduling is concerned, you can do a sched_setscheduler and
use your IDS as a realtime process (FIFO or RR).

	The system overflow you talked about seems to be regarding a user-land
program (not the kernel structures), so your IDS could do this "reacting" thing
from user-land as well.

	I don't think your program needs to be in kernel at all.
