Cool. I think you should put the new IPDL files and implementation in
modules/libpref/ipc

Here's how you hook the IPDL files into our build system:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/IPDL/Low_level_setup#Hook_the_IPDL_file_into_our_build_system

The basic prefs protocol can probably just be Preferences.ipdl. It will be
managed by ContentProcess.ipdl, just like IFrameEmbedding and TestShell are
now: see
