Sorry to be ignorant, but why don't you store it in memory?

Have one routine create the storage space, have the routine that you
create the value from be called from that routine, and have the routine
that retrieves the value also be called from the initiation routine...

Furthermore, I suspect that what you are attempting happens all over the
kernel, and I suspect that there are already mechanisms in place to do
exactly what you need to to without needing to store anything anywhere
on the file-system...
