Hi,
The driver example listed here takes the same approach as already done
inside ipc/shm.c. So people can refer this file for development. The
patches just make existing functions more usable by drivers and this
example is an extract of ipc/shm.c in order to give pretty simple
how-to.
Seems I gave a not so good description for this patch set so it caused
a lot of misunderstanding, sorry about that.

Thanks,
Alexey
