So this is still a valid API? Good to know.
What I don't know: Can it be product specific? So the net people ship a version for new networking APIs and filesystem people ship new filesystem methods along with their filesystem support.
Reason I ask: There are many such frameworks floating around, but none was complete. Many miss BUG_ON(), likely()/unlikely(), seq_file support and many more interesting stuff.
