I am sorry about the delay in answering. It is the weekend so things can be
slow. I will add some input to see if we can figure this out. I have not
followed all the discussions in detail so please correct me if I have taken a
wrong turn.

I spent some time this week looking into these functions and I cannot any other
implementation or use for functions starting with OF_*. They seem very specific
and related to BSD Unix.

These are low level and board related rather than an core interface so this
would tend to make then reside in the BSP shared area.

Are there BSP or architecture specific parts in the implementation detail?

Thanks
