We already see this to a certain extent, Linux has NDISWrapper to use some Windows drivers, but my understanding is that it isn't so straightforward for most other classes of driver because the way they work has a lot to do with the way the target OS kernel works and it's hard to map from one to the other.
- JPLeRouzic 5y agoWindows XP drivers used messages for communication between the kernel and the drivers, so it was quite straightforward. A driver has to filter the messages it receives, process the one that were addressed to itself and pass on the other messages to the next driver.
