Code Auto-Generation

Many functions in both kernel modules look very similar, and vary mostly by name/id of the system call they handle, and the parameters this system call receives.

Instead of writing a lot of similar functions using copy/paste, a perl script generates the code for these functions. It does that by a combination of template files with macros, data types mappings and hard-coded constructs.

This approach to code generation is not new, and could be spun into its own project - of writing a general automatic code generator.
