(perhaps with just a very few #ifdef's) More of it maybe, but take (for instance) the physical addresses. They are 32bit vs. 64 bit. /dev/mem and /dev/kmem are different too. IMHO, /dev/null, /dev/zero, /dev/[u]random etc have no business being in the same driver as /dev/[k]mem. I think *that* is the basic mistake here. Everything but mem/kmem should be in a MI "misc devices" driver. Cheers, -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
