OK, uncle! I'll work on your helpful advice (thanks for that), but
it feels too risky for this stage of 2.6.23. Maybe I can come up with
something for a future release.
The changeset in the kernel is too risky _without_ the changes I described.
Hence the repeated use of the word "incomplete."
* The patch has transition issues, when you shuffle users from one
device driver to another. Existing change should not be deployed
without ensuring breakage is unlikely.
* The new driver is missing module unload support. Existing change
should not be deployed without this.
* DOCUMENT the user visible changes. Existing change should not be
deployed without this.
