The whole design was wrong. The old m68kserial implementation was
running as a master layer controlling the low level devices. Instead
it should be a library of routines the drivers can choose to use if
they want to. The master approach puts too many restrictions onto the
individual drivers.
Linus rejected this approach more than two years ago, and it is never
going into the official tree. I have been telling everybody this for
just as long, but most people seem tohave just gotten tired of it and
started ignoring the message.
