You might want to try the kernel-newbies list first with questions... that list seems less prone to roasting people with near-routine questions. The address for that list is kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org. (And yes, accessing a file from the kernel is a fairly routine question around here. Which is part of the reason the first response was a bit curt.) And the footer of a message from the kernel-newbies list has some other things you might find helpful: Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
