Okay, I see.

Hmm... not sure I like this at all. It seems awfully as though you're
bending current infrastructure to suit your needs. There must be better
ways of passing a name than through pdata, and if there isn't I'd
suggest setting up a sysconf pdata struct that others can use in case
they wish to expand the functionality further in some other
unfathomable way. :)
