Hi all,

in order to make correct use of IRQ handling functions stacked upon 
RTAI/fusion's Xenomai nucleus (e.g. the functions of the rtai_native 
skin), the RTOS abstraction layer had to be changed slightly.

RTAI/fusion expects to use a handle structure for referring to requested 
IRQs, while old RTAI and also Linux only needed the IRQ number. 
Therefore, I modified rtnet_sys_xxx.h appropriately. Unfortunately, also 
the drivers had to be changed. I already did this for any driver execept 
the 3com and the still broken PPC drivers. See README.drvporting for 
details - sorry, it's still a quite unordered list.

Yuchen, you don't need to hurry porting these changes also to the 
firewire branch - at least as long as it is 2.4-only, fusion will not 
run with it anyway.
