Yes after quite some digging I found "Kernel Structures" (NOT found by a
search for "Kernel Structures", even using "online" search -- only
CE-related articles are found) under KMDF / Reference.

The IRP article thereunder is at the following URL:

ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v90.en/kernel_r/hh/Kernel_r/k112_39688b8b-4b33-4bce-b71f-e9c183e4d6bd.xml.htm

0 with Local Help, 100 with MSDN Online (none of which seems to have
KPROCESSOR_MODE in the title, BTW...)

OK, this is the EXACT same URL as on my system, so it sounds like
something is wrong with your document explorer search facility.

I've just checked my version and it's 9.0.21022.8 RTM

I wonder if a language setting makes any difference? On my system it's
Engllish (UK)

Might be worth reporting to MSDN.
