vshBridge is a wrapper for functions..

most of the exported functions (maybe all of them :)) do 3 particular things

1) check if the value returned by sceKernelGetUserLevel is < 4.
2) backup k1 and set k1 = k1 >> 16
3) call the original function and restore the k1

I have two questions:
what does it mean to have the value returned by sceKernelGetUserLevel less than 4?

and what happens by setting k1 = k1 >> 16?

whe use to set k1 to 0 to wrap kernel mode function to user mode app....

(a full list of vshBridge function and the corresponding sce* one coming soon)

I'm sure step 1 checks if the calling thread can do that thing.
I saw the k1 = k1 >> 16 in most kernel functions. Probably the effective K1 is stored like this (shifted 16-bit right). When using k1 = 0 you don't notice this because 0 >> 16 = 0. (Just some guessing!).
