If this stuff isn't too insane, just make it available for all software to use. That includes regular SPARC Linux executables, etc. Use a regular system call without a module. I suppose you ought to have a config option if this gets to be over 200 kB of bloat. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
