Rusty, you take that approach, and the module code flies out of the
kernel.
The block device code (and a lot of other code) has been there happily
forever. And not breaking drivers was part of the module loader rule. Now
you seem to say that drivers should be broken een if they are perfectly
fine and do not have any races as is.
If so, then bye bye new module loader.
