Problems with Data Types, Low Severity (5)

	Change	Effect
1	Field kernel_name has been renamed to kernel.	Renaming of a field in data type may indicate a change in the semantic meaning of the field.

	Change	Effect
1	Size of this type has been changed from 296 bytes to 368 bytes.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.
