Please consider a generic data relocation interface if you do this
so that ISA PnP, PCMCIA, and other hardware relocation interfaces
don't each need their own utility.

I would think this would be a generic attrivute of the top level
devfs directory, and ioctl()'s/fcntl()'s against an FD open on the
dir itself...
