"nd/bus.c" provides two features, 1) the top level ND bus driver which
is the central part of the ND, and 2) the ioctl interface specific to
the example-DSM-interface. I think the example-DSM-specific part should
be put into an example-DSM-support module, so that the ND can support
other _DSMs as necessary. Also, _DSM needs to be handled as optional.

Thanks,
