+ * @version:		The numbered version of the driver (x.x.xxx).
+ * @vertag:		A human readable version string.
+ * @owner:		The module owner.
+ * @channel_types:	Types of channels handled by this driver, ending with
+ *			a zero GUID. Our specialized BUS.match() method knows
+ *			about this list, and uses it to determine whether this
+ *			driver will in fact handle a new device that it has
+ *			detected.
+ * @probe:		Called when a new device comes online, by our probe()
+ *			function specified by driver.probe() (triggered
+ *			ultimately by some call to driver_register(),
+ *			bus_add_driver(), or driver_attach()).
+ * @remove:		Called when a new device is removed, by our remove()
+ *			function specified by driver.remove() (triggered
+ *			ultimately by some call to device_release_driver()).
+ * @channel_interrupt:	Called periodically, whenever there is a possiblity
+ *			that "something interesting" may have happened to the
+ *			channel.
+ * @pause:		Called to initiate a change of the device's state.  If
+ *			the return valu`e is < 0, there was an error and the
+ *			state transition will NOT occur.  If the return value
+ *			is >= 0, then the state transition was INITIATED
+ *			successfully, and complete_func() will be called (or
+ *			was just called) with the final status when either the
+ *			state transition fails or completes successfully.
+ * @resume:		Behaves similar to pause.
+ * @driver:		Private reference to the device driver. For use by bus
+ *			driver only.
+ * @version_attr:	Private version field. For use by bus driver only.
