Very nice...

if we are starting fresh wouldn't it make sense to use the cce/cp for
everything rather than MMIO?  that would avoid having to wait for idle
and such when switching between MMIO and CCE.  If we have a kernel
component, it shouldn't be be an issue to use the CCE.

Also, are the kdrive drivers going to be a model for the new drivers or
a interim step on the way to the "new driver model" we've been
discussing?
