I will make change for void *ahhandles[1] with void *ahhandles[];,
will use "struct_size" while allocating memory.
I will replaced all Error macros with directly linux Error macros.
About customized data structure API e.g-list,queue, I am currently working on
replacing them with Linux kernel generic dtata structure API's.
Thank you for reviewing.
