--- Thank you for your comments. Can you please elaborate your specific
concerns on the modules present in OSAL layer. Majority of the code that
is present in this OSAL layer are not acting as wrappers to the kernel
calls, and even the functions that are acting as wrappers (eg:
MEM_Alloc) provides some additional debugging feature that are very
handy in debugging some critical Bridge issues. Does renaming OSAL to
some other name address your concern ? 

Thank you,
Best regards,
Hari
