Hi Rasesh.

Thanks for bringing this out to netdev.

I think that with a few hours of cleanup, the code
would be more linux style conforming.  But right now,
it looks a bit odd with too many indirections.

OS dependent includes?  Most of them are senseless.

All of bfa_os_inc.h should go elsewhere or be dropped.
All of bna_os should go elsewhere or be dropped.

drop all bna_os_ prefixes

drop all bfa_os_ntohs, etc:

sed -r -i -e 's/\bbfa_os_(nh)to(nh)(sl)\b/\1to\2\3/g' *

Redefine true/false? why?

sed -r -i -e 's/\bbfa_boolean_t\b/bool/g' *
sed -r -i -e 's/\bBFA_TRUE\b/true/g' *
sed -r -i -e 's/\bBFA_FALSE\b/false/g' *

Don't suffix struct names with _s

sed -r -i -e 's/\bstruct\b\s+(\w+)\s+(\w+)_s/struct \1 \2/g' *

bfa_panic -> bfa_os_panic -> nothing

a laundry list like that...

I think it should go into staging for a few weeks, and then
it would be ready to be integrated into a mainline release.

cheers,  Joe
