    Looks like a "yea" so far, so I have a couple of follow-up questions:

            struct cdev currently has members named si_* because it
            used to be called "specinfo", do we want to change that
            inconsistency at the same time ? (either by reverting to
            the specinfo name or by changing to a cd_ prefix ?

            cdevsw->ioctl() takes a caddr_t pointer argument which
            really should be a void *, do we want to change that
            as well (since it is all the same files we'll have to
            change).

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
