What happened to that? Any particular reason not to?
Yes, I followed your suggestion that we just use functions instead of function pointers ([17/20]). Though we won't use pointers, we still need this structure to inform userspace side (of LKL) to kernel. [19/20], block device implementation uses this. -- Hajime
