Yep, that's the inevitable problem with this kind of doc. What I was
suggesting was to list a couple of the current drivers in src/sys as
good examples of "best practice" and hope they stay current, if they're
in the kernel source tree and being used for current hardware.

But, just a suggestion (and the "list" could/will get out of date
someday), rick
