The driver interaction with management firmware involves a union of all the data-members relating to the commands the driver prepares. Current interface assumes the caller always passes such a union - but thats cumbersome as well as risky [chancing a stack corruption in case caller accidentally passes a smaller member instead of union]. Change implementation so that caller could pass a pointer to any of the members instead of the union.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
