 *                       Supported formats: Mach-O, Mach-O64, Fat.
 *   size                The size of the kext in memory.  Must be nonzero.
 *   name                The name, usually the bundle identifier, of the kext
 *   callback_data       Data that is to be passed to the callback functions.
 *   dependencies        An array of pointers to the kexts upon which this kext
 *                       is dependent.
 *   num_dependencies    Number of entries in the 'dependencies' array.
 *   linked_object       This will be set to the address of the linked kext
 *                       object. If the address provided by the

 *   kmod_info_kern      Kernel address of the kmod_info_t structure.
