OK. Upon prodding, it seems that I'd misunderstood beforehand. You _CAN_ 
sleep in a standard request function; you don't need to have a kernel 
thread. The only restriction is that you must not allocate anything with 
GFP_KERNEL, because it could deadlock waiting for you to write.

So we can throw out all my kernel thread crap.
