In addition to your idea, I wonder if we could point people at some
simple "real world" drivers that people could look at which are (a)
simple, and (b) relatively clean and free of anti-patterns that we
don't want driver authors to copy pasta into their drivers.
Sort of like how we have the "minix" and "ext2" file systems as
examples that we will sometimes point people to who want to understand
how to do their own new file systems.
