Subject: Re: [PATCH] alternative to sys_indirect, part 1
Just FYI, if you end up looking at having to make lots of changes to a
(probably user-side) interface, I did an open-source version of the
"score" fast-porting tool, described at http://datacenterworks.com/stories/port.html
It makes fixing annoying API changes somewhat less evil (;-))
