Great, Alberto! Couple thing seems strange to me. I don't know anything 
about device drivers, so perhaps it really *is* that strange...

You say:

    2.      Stack cleanup is performed by the called function.
    3.      Function name is decorated by prepending an underscore character

But that doesn't seem to be what you show...

And... your strings have got CRs in 'em. Is that normal/required for 
device drivers?

I'm sure I'll have more questions... Great resource. Thanks!

Best,
Frank
