Ah yes, in retrospect I should have made it clear that this was for
supporting hardware rather than simply code cleanup. That was an
oversight on my part not to have made it more explicit.

Introducing everything to the driver tree would be most convenient, thus
allowing me to quickly release my subsequent patches which will be
rebased on top of these.
