I'm trying to write an LKM module for the MIDI driver so I modify and
test it easily. I started with the vnd LKM, but I can't work out where
the arguments that I need to pass to midiattach() and mididetach() come
from. The vnd wrapper "invents" an argument, but I guess it's not that
simple for the MIDI driver.

Also, when compiling the real-midi.c file, it needs to include the
midi.h and sequencer.h files that are generated by the kernel config
process and live in src/sys/arch/<arch>/compile/<kernel>/. On my
system these two header files contain three defines:

#define NMIDI 1
#define NMIDIBUS 1

#define NSEQUENCER 1

These look like sane defaults, so should I just create midi.h and
sequencer.h files in my module directory?

I previously posted a similar message on the general NetBSD Help list,
but received no replies. If that's because my attempt to make a module
for the MIDI driver is miguided, then please let me know, as this is my
first attempt at getting to grips with the kernel source.

Finally, is anyone else using NetBSD for MIDI related things? If so I'd
be keen to know - I'm hoping to write a generic synthesiser patch
editor, but at the moment it seems that SysEx messages arent supported
by the NetBSD MIDI driver, hence my attempts to modify it.
