About irp framework for safedisc support

[Vijay Kiran Kamuju]

Hi,

I would like to know about what is required for the irp framework to
be implemented for wine.
I just want to put enough information so that it might be possible for
someone or even me to pick-up this issue.
May be this might be ready for the next years Google SOC. ;)

Thanks,
Vijay

Well we never actually wrote a real irp queue system, we simply had a
single irp stack allocated irp struct that we recycled for each call.
The whole thing works quite well, the only real issue is that
Alexandre decided last December he didn't like the idea of using named
pipes for ntdll to ntoskrnl IPC (ntosknrl runs as an independent
process), and wanted the whole thing rewritten using the wineserver
portocol, which is sort of time consuming and I won't be able to do it
before summer. If you want to look over it I can send you what we
currently have.

We might put some initial effort, so that when more hands will make it faster.
Im quite illiterate with Win32 API, but i might look into your effort
and make some changes.

Thanks,
Vijay
