:this brings up whether we should have 'rules' for kernel structures in general..

    I'd have to say no.  It's too easy for this sort of thing to get
    completely out of control.

    I agree with Poul re: having a version number at the head of any 
    structure exported to userland.  Maybe a size as well (or some 
    out of band way to get the structure size).
