Data Sharing in mmap()

Because mmap(9E) does not have a parameter that can be used to pass data model information, the driver's mmap(9E) entry point can be written to use the new DDI function ddi_model_convert_from(9F). This function returns one of the following values to indicate the application's data type model:

• DDI_MODEL_ILP32 – Application expects the ILP32 data model

• DDI_MODEL_ILP64 – Application expects the LP64 data model

• DDI_FAILURE – Function was not called from mmap(9E)

As with ioctl() and devmap(), the model bits can be passed to ddi_model_convert_from(9F) to determine whether data conversion is necessary, or the model can be handed to STRUCT_INIT().

Alternatively, migrate the device driver to support the devmap(9E) entry point.
