Currently, it only checks if the file extension +"mp3" is present and calls the original open() with the supplied path +instead. + +WARNING: There is probably a performance penalty and your kernel might crash +at a very inappropriate time and cause data loss! You are responsible for +the code you load into your kernel! + +But most probably, it will be alright! ;) + +# Installation + +You need the address of sys_call_table in your kernel.
