Sadly, yes. It would be great to have a kernel space module for that.

Given a decent spec, I will happily write that module :)

A mostly-kernel implementation was conceived before in [1] but not realized. OTOH that was 5 years ago, maybe it's time to reconsider? Either way, reading this may save you some time even if you're only going to implement esp_prot.
