This is a good idea.

I think if this infrastructure already existed, then many people
would make their drivers into ports.  Until then, though, the
drivers will likely have to be part of the kernel.

Would it be a useful exercise for the people who want drivers to
be ports instead of being in the kernel to provide this facility
for driver writers to use?

8^p.
