I notice that discussion is going nowhere, basically we are in the

* once that they are split, it is basically imposible to join then
again.
- people that want 2 devices:
* The devices can more easily diverge if they are two devices

* It allows you more freedom in changing any of them if they are
separate.
As you can see, none of the proposals is a clear winner. And what is
worse, we have the two maintainers (avi and anthony), the two with more
experience having to deal with this kind of situation disagreeing.
How to fix the impass?
We already have the single device model implementation and the
limitations are well known. The best way to move forward is for someone
to send out patches implementing separate device models.
At that point, it becomes a discussion of two concrete pieces of code
verses hand waving.
Later, Juan.
