from include/linux/comedilib.h:
/* ALPHA functions */
unsigned int comedi_get_buf_head_pos(unsigned int minor,unsigned int
        subdevice);
int comedi_set_user_int_count(unsigned int minor,unsigned int subdevice,
        unsigned int buf_user_count);

The function comedi_get_buf_head_pos() is equal to
comedi_get_front_offset()
from the user space. Maybe is not bad idea to rename this function in
next
comedi release.
