But before going this way, first consider what kind of functions you
exported so far via rt_fun_entry. If it was a driver API, you should
better have a look at RTDM now.

Actually, most additional APIs exported via that LXRT interface were
driver-related. But this led to rather chaotic API situation with
incompatible driver interfaces. Moreover, the often used automatic LXRT
mapping of arguments that describe large buffers was quite inefficient
(additional copy step). That is now different with both the skin and the
RTDM way under Xenomai (no automatic copying, the skin or the driver has
to take care natively).
