Interesting. I'd be curious about how extensive the changes were to
use through the KPIs introduced in Darwin 8. I haven't had to do
that conversion, but just looking at kpi_interface.h, it appears as
though the changes would be pretty minimal (ifnet_t and its
accessors and mutators strike me as more ecapsulation than
obfuscation).
The folks that I know that did this did it by converting their entire
code base to using Mac OS X-style accessor functions and then
defining macro versions of those accessors on other platforms. It
was a lot of scut work, and a political challenge to get the core
code maintainers to accept the change, but it was very simple
technically.
