I hope so.

I see some development challenges according to this design direction.
This software component is using programming interfaces from
the Linux kernel, isn't it?
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/lib/bootconfig.c?id=c99b17ac03994525092fd66bed14b4a0c82f0b4d#n9
I guess that other approaches should be considered for the desired
software reuse in this system configuration area.
Is there a need to map key and value combinations directly to files
(and directories) for a more convenient data processing by user-space processes?
Regards,
Markus
