Wrappers around the basic write rare functionality, addressing several common data types found in the kernel, allowing to specify the new values through immediates, like constants and defines.I have to wonder whether this is the right way, or whether a size-agnostic function like put_user() is the right way. put_user() is certainly easier to use.
I definitely did not like it either. But it was the best that came to my mind ... The main purpose of this code was to show what I wanted to do. Once more, thanks for pointing out a better way to do it. -- igor
