Initially when i looked at all the floats, doing it in kernel looked a bit dark, but another look at it, the same could be achieved without the floats too.. What i started off, with is the implementation of the various functions as table driven. It's almost quite a way down, but still a bit way to go on this. Initially we thought it would be best to do it in userspace, but the addition of ioctls to the API, made that thought a bit diminished .. This is applicable for most of the frontends though .. Manu
