Abstract
Various embodiments are generally directed an apparatus and method for configuring an execution environment in a user space for device driver operations and redirecting a device driver operation for execution in the execution environment in the user space including copying instructions of the device driver operation from the kernel space to a user process in the user space. In addition, the redirected device driver operation may be executed in the execution environment in the user space.
