Looks like a "yea" so far, so I have a couple of follow-up questions:
struct cdev currently has members named si_* because it
used to be called "specinfo", do we want to change that
inconsistency at the same time ? (either by reverting to
the specinfo name or by changing to a cd_ prefix ?
cdevsw->ioctl() takes a caddr_t pointer argument which
really should be a void *, do we want to change that
as well (since it is all the same files we'll have to
change).
