a separate .c file that conditionally compiles into the driver is in my
opinion far less "crud" than blind hooks. The former allows for a
cleaner implementation I'm sure, AND has the benefit of being able to
see what is being done, so that any restructuring can 1) take it into
account and 2) fix it up on the go.
