Jari OS: device drivers development wellness

I have a lot of time spent with drivers development in different OSes/kernels. Generally it was microkernel or hybrid kernels and I cannot told that this process takes me into pleasure.
Jari OS on other side is a new microkernel OS that can takes in advance all my skills with system design.
Actually every Jari driver is a microkernel service working in userspace like a trusted task. All IO mechanics has a protocol and every time you need to support it with all changes. It's a bad, but for this case I've designed a generic device server layer that will hide all semantics within several library functions.
All of this located in system libraries - in LibOS part.
Include and you will have server implemented. Really is a generic layer - on top of this I will design and implement other layers - for console drivers, input drivers, block drivers and so on.
Like example of this I will show a code snippet of the generic VGA console driver uses this generic layer:

#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include <errno.h>
#include <time.h>

Jari Operating System: LibAlloc updates

Some of today's deal within Jari OS project was dlmalloc (Douglas Lee memory allocator) porting.
So, it's done and now I've rejected using of ugly smalloc (simple memory allocator).
Dlmalloc is a great thing - it can be ported anywhere, for example - Jari OS doesn't have sbrk() function, and will not have this oldish shit, otherwise - all is done via mmap() and dlmalloc allow to use it without sbrk().
Porting to the Jari OS mmap() semantics taken few minutes only.
Like usually you can look out source code - git clone git://rep.jarios.org/syslibs.git - LibAlloc/lib/dlmalloc.c

thanks.
