+ * To save space in the binary when multiple-driver images are

+ * This will typically be used to share statically-allocated receive
+ * and transmit buffers between drivers.
+ *
+ * Use as e.g.
+ *
+ *  struct {
+ *	char	rx_buf[NUM_RX_BUF][RX_BUF_SIZE];
+ *	char	tx_buf[TX_BUF_SIZE];
+ *  } my_static_data __shared;
