Hi,
I have made available RPM packages of the DAFS sdk v 0.8. You can find

header file structure that is usable in both user and kernel mode.
I have attached the patch -

In addition to the 14 new CONFIG symbols without help texts which

Both those projects have been declared stable by their development
