OK. That's mainly through ignorance of what I *should* be using
instead (and perhaps poor reading of Linux Device Drivers). Do you
have an opinion on where such information should be going?

That makes sense.

Hmm. That's very sensible. Assuming I can figure out a sensible way
to do it (which I assume is what you expected me to object).

It would certainly be interesting to do (sort of reverse archaeology),
but would take a while, and it would, of course, also mean rewriting
all of my tests to only test whatever is still there (I'm assuming a
source file is only interesting if it actually *works*).

It would, of course, also have the advantage of presenting the
"simplest possible" idea of KBUS, followed by "but it appears also to
be necessary to do this" patches. Which is presumably why you suggest
it.

Ah. Not something I have experience of. I shall make it so.

Thank you,
