How? See:
- in intr.asm changed allocmem().
- to allocmem() relate changes in init-mod.h and config.c.
- but config.c also changes freeAvailableBuf pointer to HMAuserarea offset,
and this change spreaded also between init-mod.h, inthndlr.c, globals.h.
- in these files are also some other changes: for example, in intr.asm fixed
prototypes.
How to split these changes (into digestable chunks)? Explain me, if you know
this. I _suggest_, that I may do this so:
- get my file and copy some changes from it to intermediate file.
- make diff-file.
- restore original contents of intermediate file and copy next change; goto
step 2.
But this is error prone process, and it may affect subsequent patching
(especially if changes are crossed). Also, patch for batch and makefiles
can't be splitted, because these changes related.
PS: In next letter in -kernel@ I try to extract some changes.
