I'm also not sure if this is a real improvement, it was done in
userspace because we needed to inject actual dummy handlers that do
ENOSUPP and had a complication where the ops were exposed as part of
the ABI, but we needed to revise the driver ops. None of these reasons
really apply to the kernel..

It is a lot of churn and will hurt backporting.. But it is a little
tidier in the drivers.

I guess if nobody is opposed it could go forward
