the lead-in: for the purposes of updating a pile of my existing kernel tutorials and courseware (and writing new material), i'm digging into the source to document numerous concepts from beginning to end, and i'm not surprised when i trip over all sorts of things that are fairly simple but i don't immediately know the answer to. so for the next while, i'm going to ask all sorts of questions to clarify numerous things, then i'll write up the final results and post them for public consumption at my web site so other people can take advantage of this. and i figured it would be useful to ask those questions on this list, as this list is full of clever people who probably know the answers. a lot of the early questions will be based on clarifying details of the driver model, as the current documentation under Documentation/driver-model/ is somewhat out of date so i desperately need to put together something far more current. first question(s) coming shortly ... rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
