For the same reason I was not able to embed the struct localcount directly within the struct device.but you did do that: struct device { ... struct localcount dv_localcnt; /* reference counter */ };
Sorry, typo. I should have said that the struct {b,c}devsw are const, so not able to embed the localcount directly, nor able to embed a pointer to the localcount. The struct device is not (generally) const, so it did not have the same constraints when embedding its localcount.
