Anything I forgot?
Sounds all good to me. One thing is that 2.1 is a prime opportunity
to clean up the device subdirectories, but this would fall under your
"clean up the ports" stuff. ;-)
We would need a setup which allows the current nice sharing of PC
style bus drivers with (for example) the Alpha and some of the MIPS
ports which can use them with minimal modifications.
It should, in the end, be entirely obvious to someone writing a new
driver for an arbitrary architecture where the code belongs and what
needs to be done to integrate such a driver.
