well, the 'new and improved' ltfs is now to the same point that the old one was when i started rewriting the request structure. Unless I'm completely wrong, the new mechanism should be slightly faster, since we now only copy as much as necessary between user and kernel space, instead of an entire ltfs_request structure regardless of how much of it is used. I might try to come up with a better request packing mechanism, since it does do memcpy's, but I was doing those extra copies anyway whenever I was individually setting pieces of the ltfs_request to various values. I think I'm gonna go watch star trek now.
