Hi,
The Stack given with FreeBSD is accessible using the hooks provided in
protosw structure which in turns is accessible from domain structure
,though its quite modular but since the system at the initialisation time
forms these two structures you'll have to provide some way to use these
hooks to use the stack in your own way.moreover the stack uses the memory
scheme provided by BSD and you'll have to provide an alternative memory
scheme.The other dependance is the insertion and the removal routine used
by the code to put an element into the circular doubly link list at
various places these routine has to be replaced.
