send signal with data from driver

[Anil kumar]

Hi,

I want to send a event notification from the driver to registered applications. I am using kill_async( ) with SIGIO. But with this I cannot send any data along with the signal. 
Is there a way to send data (buffer or a int number) along with the signal from the driver.

With regards,
  Anil
