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.
