[Freemint-list] struct kerinfo extensions

[Miro Kropáček]

Hi,

before I waste my time on this doing it wrong... what if an XIF driver
needs access to PCI BIOS? Currently only kernel modules can do that (via
vec_pcibios in struct kentry) however what if we have a driver for PCI
network card?

I assume one can't just change (reorder) kerinfo's members (due to backward
compatibility) so ... am I allowed to add something like

struct kinfo_pcibios vec_pcibios;

and bump version to "3" ? If so, what about this last member:

/* reserved, set to 0 */
long res2 [1];

does it has some meaning for future extensions?
