The new ConnectX driver is being developed in WDF environment and
requires WDK tools for its build.
While trying to build OFA stack in WDK environment i've come across a
__ptr64 problem.
This attribute causes the WDK compiler crash in checked x86 environment.
Instead of searching some workaround, i'm going to perform the following
"drastic" solution:
- remove __ptr64 attribute from all the functions of the stack;
- remove __ptr64 attribute from all the structures except the Ioctl
ones;
- use PtrToPtr64 function while the assignment of __ptr64 Ioctl
fields (only in user space);
- remove unnecessary castings, related to __ptr64 attriubute all
over the code, if any;
The changes wrt ioctls will be committed separately to facilitate the
code review.
Any comments/suggestions/objections ?
