+ * Some drivers need to be able to keep accurate records of open/close
+ * calls to determine whether a device is still in use. To allow this
+ * open/close calls have been typed and the type is passed as a third
+ * argument in open/close calls, as in:
+ * (*cdevsw[getmajor(dev)].d_open)(getminor(dev), flag, OTYP_CHR);
+ * or
+ * (*cdevsw[getmajor(dev)].d_close)(getminor(dev), flag, OTYP_CHR);
+ * Five types of open/close calls have been defined:
+ * OTYP_BLK: open/close of a block special file
+ * OTYP_MNT: open/close for mounting/unmounting a file system
+ * OTYP_CHR: open/close of a character special file
+ * OTYP_SWP: open/close of a swapping device.
+ * OTYP_LYR: open/close calls from a driver to another driver,
+ * without a file being open for the dev of the lower driver.
+ *
+ * The first four types of open/close calls obey the protocol rule
+ * that many more opens may occur for a given minor(dev) for that type of open,
+ * but a close call happens only on the last close of that dev.
+ * This protocol allows a flag to be used (set by opens, cleared by closes)
+ * to keep track of the state for a given minor device value.
+ *
+ * Calls of the fifth type (OTYP_LYR) must obey the protocol rule
+ * that open and close call calls are always paired. This protocol
+ * permits several drivers to be layers above the same device driver.
+ * A counter can be used for this protocol.
+ *
+ * The value OTYPCNT is defined for the purpose of declaring arrays
+ * in drivers and for performing range checks (0 <= otyp < OTYPCNT)
+ * on values passed.
