Re: Driver migration question

[Thunder from the hill]

The way drivers have to be done is mixed of two aspects:
1. The way you do drivers and
2. the way the driver works.
You should also try not to rewrite existing functions for not to get a
mess of e.g. memory allocation functions that do the same but have
different names.
