Hi Sathya,

please start your effort per your plans.  I don't think we'll need
separate binaries as we should be fine with a MODULE_ALIAS and
registering two misc devices.  But compared to the overall effort
that's a fairly minor descision which we can revisit while going ahead.

Keeping the user interfaces 100% backwards compatible should be the
first priority.
