Well... There's no memory protection in kernel space, so you only need a 
pointer and the RTL kernel header that describes the "private" parts of the 
task struct.

Anyway, why would you want to do that? Application code should use the RTL 
API rather than messing with the inner workings directly. (If it's for 
debugging purposes, put the code in a separate module if possible, and do 
keep in mind that it may break even after a minor version RTL upgrade.)
