Great, Alberto! Couple thing seems strange to me. I don't know anything
about device drivers, so perhaps it really *is* that strange...
You say:
2. Stack cleanup is performed by the called function.
3. Function name is decorated by prepending an underscore character
But that doesn't seem to be what you show...
And... your strings have got CRs in 'em. Is that normal/required for
device drivers?
I'm sure I'll have more questions... Great resource. Thanks!
Best,
Frank
