Hello,

supporting native API for kmode drivers doesnt make much sense.
The cpu-z kmode driver implements low level i/o throughput time measurements
using ring0 (privileged) instructions and some internal kmode apis (query
interrupt counters and the like).
Even if you support/emulate necessary native kmode apis, the driver code would
immediately cause SIGILL/SIGSEGVs due use of privileged instructions.

Regards
