IMO, the right way forward for this is to bus-space the driver, and provide the 'meat' of it under sys/dev/ somewhere. This 'meat' should be pretty much system independent. Then, each of the camps can provide their own code to attach to the meat; we'd use newbus, NetBSD/OpenBSD would use newconfig, and BSDi would use whatever they use (and possibly some macros to pretend to be doing bus-space). I started to do this, but found it to be too much work compared to what my priorities are (I do not estimate it to be more than two-three nights of hacking, but that is time I presently do not have for that project :-( Eivind.
