You're right. What's more, if there are changes to the API I included
an API version number in all argument structs which we can use if it
changes. I'll try to build a new version RSN.
The only thing that's worrying me are possible discrepancies between kernel
and user land types such as uid_t and dev_t. If they don't match, we'll
have a serious problem. Maybe we need to use generic types in the argument
structs (e.g. unsigned int instead of uid_t). Any comments on this?
