The RTDM API as we now have it was first realised under Xenomai and is
still being improved on that platform first before being ported over.
Nevertheless, what you find in RTAI 3.3 and magma is always compatible
(check RTDM_API_VER when in doubt). So porting RTDM drivers between both
variant melts down to adapting the build process.

That's about the driver API. If your question referred to the user API:
the rt_dev_xxx functions are portable as well and can be found on both
platforms. Additionally, you have the standard POSIX function entries
with Xenomai's POSIX skin (see also new example in the RTnet SVN).

That's a Xenomai-specific question, maybe something for the related
list. Gilles, is this a known issue?

Anyway, we always have a version online:
