This is something I try to avoid (replying to my own messages), but I'll 
do it this time.

I made a fix for the problem I described, but I would also like to 
propose a change to the rtdm_device structure.

What I did to solve this problem is add the following statement to my 
device initialization function (the PCI probe function) after the 
pci_set_drvdata:

    MyDevice *unit;
    ....
    pci_set_drvdata(dev, unit);
    my_rtdm_device.device_id = (int)dev;

In my ops-functions I can now use the following statement to access the 
device data:

int myrtdm_open_nrt(struct rtdm_dev_context    *context,
                 rtdm_user_info_t              *user_info,
                 int                            oflags)
{
    MyDevice *unit = pci_get_drvdata((struct pci_dev 
*)context->device->device_id);

This does work, but only as long as sizeof(int) == sizeof(<pointer>), 
which is true on 32 bit systems, but not on 64 bit systems. So I would 
like to add an extra pointer field to the rtdm_device structure, 
pointing to some device-data to allow this to work on both 32 and 64 bit 
systems.

I attached a diff-file containing a patch to rtdm_driver.h that makes 
this change.

Kind regards,
