I have add support for generating modules.isapnpmap to my modutils
tree, basically a clone of modules.pcimap.  ISAPNP_CARD_TABLE is more
of a problem.

struct isapnp_card_id {
        unsigned short card_vendor, card_device;
        struct {
                unsigned short vendor, function;
        } devs[ISAPNP_CARD_DEVS];       /* logical devices */
        unsigned long driver_data;      /* data private to the driver */
};

Modutils and the kernel are compiled from different headers, none of
this #include <linux/xxx.h> business in modutils.  So you must never
assume that the structures in modutils and in the kernel have the same
specification.  Since ISAPNP_CARD_DEVS is #defined and can be changed,
that value must be exported to user space.  Also putting driver_data
after the array might cause parsing problems if the array size changes,
driver_data should be before the array.

Solution 1:

struct isapnp_card_id {
        unsigned short card_vendor, card_device;
        int isapnp_card_devs;
        unsigned long driver_data;      /* data private to the driver */
        struct {
                unsigned short vendor, function;
        } devs[ISAPNP_CARD_DEVS];       /* logical devices */
};

isapnp_card_devs is set to ISAPNP_CARD_DEVS for every struct isapnp_card_id.

Solution 2:

struct isapnp_card_id {
        unsigned short card_vendor, card_device;
        unsigned long driver_data;      /* data private to the driver */
        struct {
                unsigned short vendor, function;
        } devs[ISAPNP_CARD_DEVS];       /* logical devices */
};

static int isapnp_card_devs = ISAPNP_CARD_DEVS;
EXPORT_SYMBOL(isapnp_card_devs);

isapnp_card_devs only has to be defined once, probably in isapnp.c.


In either case depmod can print modules.isapnp_cardmap data as

Print 1:

# module             cardvendor carddevice driver_data vendor     function ...
eepro100             0x00008086 0x00001229 0x00000000  0x00008086 0x00001229 ... all 
non-zero devs entries on one line

or as

Print 2:

# module             cardvendor carddevice driver_data vendor     function
eepro100             0x00008086 0x00001229 0x00000000  0x00008086 0x00001229 one line 
per non-zero devs entry

Which solution do you want?
Which print format do you want?
