There are two rt_alarm_create functions.  One is for the kernel space and the other is for user space. 

I have a linux driver that has an interrupt service routine.  When the driver is loaded using insmod, it executes the rt_alarm_create.  When the interrupt is triggered, the interrupt service routine executes the rt_alarm_start function.  When the rt_alarm_start function expires, it executes the alarm handler code.  All this code is executed in kernel space.

What I would like to do is create a user application that executes the alarm handler code rather than the linux driver in kernel space.  If the rt_alarm_create is executed in kernel space, is there a way to pass the alarm descriptor to user space?
