You ought to be able to surf through a virtual-directory tree, perhaps /proc, to find the information that you need, without writing a driver just to obtain configuration information about the system. Therefore, perhaps I do not fully understand your question. Can you please briefly describe what existing PCI driver source-code you have already investigated, and what specific piece of logic you need help with?

Which of the debuggers allow extensive customization and supports user written pluggable debugging modules in their specific debuggers?

Which one is true of memory allocated by kmem_alloc from the given below options?
Which is the basic mutex operations supported by the solaris operating system running on a sparc machine?
The OS gives guaranty that a thread which has been blocked on a cv through a cv_wait call does not comes alive wrongly and so does not need to re-check for the reason for blocking. State whether true or false.

Hey, pal, back in the day, I did my homework myself! ( And graduated with highest honors, so there!)
The entire point of education is that you dig for the answers and that in so doing you not only learn those answers but also learn how to find them. For yourself. If you're not willing to do that, then you're wasting your time and perhaps a considerable amount of money, and no one, anywhere in the world, wants to hire a lazy programmer.
