The entire point of getting rid of the lists and changing the destruct
ordering was to avoid the need to have this kind of stuff in the
drivers.
I really don't want to see driver changes to implement the basic
API..
You could declare entire types in a common space (and these two examples
qualify for common declarations). However, if one wants to add driver
specific arguments for this command (besides some general arguments
which could be driver dependent), it needs to be in a driver specific files.
I think this is a good trade-off between driver specific arguments,
commands and types while sharing common handlers and command descriptors.
