As far as I have been able to learn and glance from Bill Paul and some other
device driver guru's too much has changed in order for it to be correct
under CURRENT.

A rewrite is on my to-do list for the PDP, however, should people feel like
they want to rewrite it, be my guest and cc: me on any submissions so I can
include it in the PDP. Else I will start this ASAHP.
