I thought that was (much of) the point of des> separating MI from MD. In the current design the first thing userland has to do is inform the kernel module about its idea of what the ABI version is.

If it decides to support it, it will need to respect structure sizes corresponding to $CLIENTVERSION. -- FreeBSD Volunteer, http://people.freebsd.org/~jkoshyhelp
