That's what the DDI is all about.  The interfaces we're discussing are not
part of the DDI (yet).

If/when interfaces such as these and others want to get into the
DDI, are we required to rename them to something starting with
"ddi" ?  e.g. mac_alloc() -> ddi_mac_alloc()

What is the process for transitioning something to be a part of
the DDI?
