This patchset proposes some internal and externally-visible changes to the rawdev API. If consensus is in favour, I will submit a deprecation notice for the changes for the 20.08 release, so that these ABI/API-breaking changes can be merged in 20.11
The changes are in two areas: * For any APIs which take a void * parameter for driver-specific structs, add an additional parameter to provide the struct length. This allows some runtime type-checking, as well as possible ABI-compatibility support in the future as structure change generally involve a change in the size of the structure. * Ensure all APIs which can return error values have int type, rather than void. Since functions like info_get and queue_default_get can now do some typechecking, they need to be modified to allow them to return error codes on failure.
