That is probably the way to go, details like ZONE_DEVICE what I thought
it was about to be easier.
This has been broken for a while, so a few more weeks(or more) will not hurt.
Also, I need to catch up with ZONE_DEVICE myself and I will be on vacation
for a few weeks, so that is it.

Feel free to re-use anything you find useful in these series(in case you find something).

Thanks
