Why a new feature should be applied to all drivers? We never force a new feature to be implemented by all, it is impossible to do. > For me, this amount of churn and #ifdef is not worth it. I agree we could avoid the #ifdef with a dummy function which would be optimized out by the compiler. > Think of a better way using some other mechanism. Except avoiding the #ifdef, I don't see what better to do for tracking what the driver is doing with mbufs.
