Proper support for high speed sampling is still something that's missing
from IIO. You can't mmap your buffers, you can't splice a IIO data stream to
another file descriptor, there is no support for zero copy. So your
bottleneck will become that you have to copy lots of data around. But it is
certainly something that will be added at some point. So implementing the
driver as a IIO driver is definitely the right direction.
