I'm not sure what you mean here.

Are you suggesting sd.c be updated to use idr index routines instead of
ida routines so that sd.c could associate instance pointers with
instance numbers, much like I did for hosts.c?

If so, looking over sd.c, I don't think that would be feasible. The sd.c
driver does not do any searches for a pointer based on the index number.
Could you be more specific?

And do you have any objections to this patch?
