j'ai trouve un article sur lklm:
common name for the kernel DSO
Not surprisingly, I like the name "linux-gate", since that is really
what this DSO is all about: it's a gateway between user and kernel
space. However, if this name isn't appropriate for x86, perhaps we
can find another name which will be acceptable to everybody.
en gros, c'est une "porte" entre l'espace kernel et utilisateur.
