    Which is an extremely important detail especially if you have been
    reverse engineering another driver for the same or similar OS where it
    is likely that people will retain knowledge and copy rather than
    re-implement things.

    We've had "fun" with this before and the pwc camera driver. I don't want
    to see a repeat of that.
