This is what I alluded to a few lines later - saying that if you move the driver down to ring1, then you should move _everything_ down to ring1 and just leave a microkernel at ring0. Now, I'm not big on microkernels, but a pure virtual machine abstraction is at least not the distateful academic mental masturbation that we saw in the 80's.
