Take look at this:

None of this is news to us.
Bear in mind that the Solaris DDI is very slanted toward "device drivers"; that is, pieces of code whose purpose is to talk to hardware. OpenAFS is not a device driver, which has relatively little impact on the level of stability we can expect from interfaces not in the DDI, but makes a big difference in whether it is possible to do what we do using only those interfaces.

Fortunately, the OpenSolaris project is, slowly, documenting and stabilizing kernel interfaces needed by components other than device drivers. We begin using these new and/or newly-documented interfaces according to need, opportunity, and availability of cycles.
