So if we're agreed no other devices going forwards should ever use this
interface, is there any point unifying the interface?  No matter how
many caveats you hedge it round with, putting the API in a central place
will be a bit like a honey trap for careless bears.   It might be safer
just to leave it buried in the three current drivers.
