This was done when Linux device drivers have been introduced and then there was the need for a new indirection layer to separate calls to Linux devices from those to pure Mach devices, while still having them accessible through the same interface. > However, ds_routines.c still define device_reference and > device_deallocate and kern/ipc_mig.c still calls them. Yes, that's correct, as it needs to go through the device emulation ops. I think that everything should stay as it is. It's ``a bit'' of a mess, also w.r.t. name spaces/chosen names for the various functions. Regards, Thomas
