How are you handling this then? mmap()'ing the BAR from sysfs?<br>
<br>
I plan to get back to implementing in-kernel socket-based MCTP shortly.<br>
Unfortunately it slipped back a little in my priority list late last year. I'd be<br>
interested in your feedback on the proposal when I get something written<br>
down.<br>
