Sounds like a simple request but I can't tell how to do it either!

Search for choose_default_stdio and read what it does. The nice way of doing it would be to figure out what you need to say to get "is_char_device" to return true for your module, but I can't figure it out.

So in your shoes, I'd probably fake it by putting "stdio" in the module name or something.

Good luck
