I do not object. While I have a suggestion, I think this change cleans=20
things up in a very good way.

I recommend something like B_DEVPRIVATE or B_DEVPRIVUSE, just to be
clearer that it's for the device driver's use (as opposed to the buffer
somehow is using a device). Since it seems the drivers end up making an=20
internal define based on the main define (as opposed to the code directly=
=20
using the main define), the length isn't that much of a concern.

Thank you for making this change.

Take care,

Bill
