Unix Device Memory Allocation project

[Benjamin Gaignard]

Hi,

Do you already have in mind a list of targeted driver/backend/plugin ?
How do you expect to enumerate devices capabilities ? by adding a new
generic ioctl or a configuration file in userland ?

Maybe it is to early for those questions but anyway I'm interested by
this memory allocation thread.

Regards,
Benjamin
