I think I see a way to do that in a relatively painless way. Do you prefer seeing driver patches or spec? Or are you not interested in reusing the same structure at all?I think we should look at code at this point; my gut says we're going to be not-quite-similar-enough-to-be-useful. At which point, a clean-slate approach is more appealing. But the code will show, one way or another. Thanks, Rusty.
Makes sense, absolutely. So I'll hack on it and post and we can judge the result. One small comment that I'm afraid was lost in the noise is that we should not add any 64 bit fields in the common area, because there's no generic iowrite64/ioread64. -- MST
