 * Kerneld internal message format/syntax:
 *
 * The message type from the kernel to kerneld is used to specify _what_
 * function we want kerneld to perform. 
 *
 * The "normal" message area is divided into a header, followed by a char array.
 * The header is used to hold the sequence number of the request, which will
 * be used as the return message type from kerneld back to the kernel.
 * In the return message, the header will be used to store the exit status
 * of the kerneld "job", or task.
 * The character array is used to pass parameters to kerneld and (optional)
 * return information from kerneld back to the kernel.
 * It is the responsibility of kerneld and the kernel level caller
 * to set usable sizes on the parameter/return value array, since
 * that information is _not_ included in the message format
 */
 
/*
 * The basic kernel level entry point to kerneld.
 *	msgtype should correspond to a task type for (a) kerneld
 *	ret_size is the size of the (optional) return _value,
 *		OR-ed with KERNELD_WAIT if we want an answer
 *	msgsize is the size (in bytes) of the message, not including
 *		the header that is always sent first in a kerneld message
 *	text is the parameter for the kerneld specific task
 *	ret_val is NULL or the kernel address where an expected answer
 *		from kerneld should be placed.
 *
 * See <linux/kerneld.h> for usage (inline convenience functions)
