Ian,
I have not had a chance to look this series over yet but I had an off topic
comment about kcomedilib.
Is it too late to rename the exports from that driver? It would be a lot
clearer if the "core" exports were prefixed with "comedi_" and the
exports provided to the kernel by kcomedilib where prefixed differently,
maybe as "kcomedi_" or even "komedi_".
Right now I think the only driver using kcomedilib is the comedi_bond driver.
I like to think of kcomedilib as an extended offshoot of the comedi
core. At one time it was used heavily by RTAI (www.rtai.org)
applications running at kernel level, but now it has been stripped down
to the bare minimum and is only currently used to support the
comedi_bond driver. Because it was originally a kernel-level equivalent
of the user-space comedilib library, the function names were chosen to
match.
