+ * be careful not to break things - i.e. don't move anything around or so
+ * unless you can demonstrate that it breaks neither API nor ABI.
+ *
+ * Additions to the API should be accompanied by actual implementations in
+ * an upstream driver, so that example implementations exist in case there
+ * are ever concerns about the precise semantics of the API or changes are
+ * needed, and to ensure that code for dead (no longer implemented) API
+ * can actually be identified and removed.
+ * Nonetheless, semantics should also be documented carefully in this file.
