DocBook/drm: The word `so-called'; I do not think it connotes what you think it connotes
...
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
So-called \So"-called`\, a.
So named; called by such a name (but perhaps called thus with
doubtful propriety).
From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:
so-called
adj : doubtful or suspect; "these so-called experts are no help"
[syn: {alleged(a)}, {supposed}]
My strong conviction is that widespread use of 'so gennant'
or 'sogennant' in German has led to the creeping misuse of
'so-called' in English (especially through technical writings).
In English, it would be better to use:
what is called
or a better translation of 'so gennant':
so named

drm: use noop_llseek
...
The drm device drivers currently allow seeking on the
character device but never care about the actual
file position.
When we change the default llseek operation to be
no_llseek, calling llseek on a drm device would
return an error condition, which is an API change.
Explicitly setting noop_llseek lets us keep the
current API.
