Subject: Re: [discuss] IPD 34 Rationalize Kernel Architecture Module Paths

I've not learned to use GitHub yet, but I noticed a couple of simple typos in 
IPD 34. Do I just hit the edit button, review my changes, and then click on 
Create pull request, or is the process more involved than that? (Apparently, by 
doing a compare I've already created a commit?)

Personally, I believe this should be about as non-controversial as it is 
possible for an IPD to be.



In a nutshell, this IPD basically prohibits any new architecture ports from 
using paths like /kernel/drv without including the CPU architecture bit.  So in 
other words, /kerneld/drv/aarch64/mptsas is fine, but /kernel/drv/mptsas is not.



This matches the current 64-bit platform we support (and also prior sparcv9), 
but it specifically precludes new architectures from “assuming” that they can 
skip this in the same way that the 32-bit legacy architectures did.



Note that no code has to change in the current implementation to facilitate 
this, although it will enable some cleanups and generalizations in man pages, 
and possibly also in our kernel Makefiles.  This should make it easier for the 
folks working on new platform ports like ARM64.
