Hi, about add_far() pointer normalization: I think it would be
better to normalize earlier. If you have a pointer, you normally
have a pointer to a STRUCTURE. If the end of the structure ends
up with an offset 0x then having the POINTER normalized is
not enough. So how do you check the SIZE

Hello Arkady,
AVB Then rename add_far into normalize_ptr and remove misleading.
noone is going to rename functions because you don't like the names.

a working kernel is worth a lot of code (even if you don't see the
reason immediately)
HANDS OFF THE KERNEL, please.
in the end
