You will want to discuss the first two of these, particularly the system call assignment, on opensolaris-code, prior to spending time on patch/build/test. In particular, there is a group that would prefer to delete loadable system calls, in favour of only supporting the DDI/DKI (and maybe an FSI for filesystems) as the committed public interface for loadable kernel functionality. I recommend networking-discuss for the RFC1788/RFC4620 proposal. - Stephen -- sch at sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/sch/
