I like this idea myself. If it were finally done, then there'd be a nice
example of a highly modular driver architecture for the other drivers to
work from. I would think, for instance, that the Intel guys and the
NVidia crew both have rather bloated drivers and could stand to have
them carved up into more pieces (intel: i810, i830, i915, i945), but
still get the benefit of having a single "master driver name" so that
users don't get confused.
