How is it possible to create a thin driver by adding lots more code and layers
of indirection ??? and writing it in a way that it won't compile without the
code for every type of bus interface even though most modules only use one ?

It's a horrible pile of garbage slapped together by an inexperienced
programmer. Its a major deterrent for anyone looking at working on one of
the latest realtek drivers.
