Re: [PATCH 01/50] staging: comedi: prepare for new struct comedi_kcmd

I don't like this at all...  I feel like you're taking something
which is so simple and making it so complicated.

This is only used in an unusual way in do_cmd_ioctl() and
do_cmdtest_ioctl().  It takes literally 5 casts (5 lines of code
and a few comments) to explain what we are doing.  Doing the casts
actually increases the readability of the code.

The whole point is that we should hide these implementation details
from the driver.  I don't like the k prefix at all.  I don't like
having two huge struct which are virtually identical but except for
the __user tag.  We'd have to keep them in sync and that's a
nightmare.

Really, it's not the right way to go.

dan carpenter
