If you look at the code, that's what I do.  I think that there were a
couple of changes that I had to make, though, in order to get it right
and minimally responsive (MacOS drivers still out-perform it by a factor
of about 4).  I tried, though, to keep the changes to a minimum.

Basically, I wanted to point out that the framework chosen should
support attaching devices with two different sets of hooks as well
as handling attachment of two devices with the same sets of hooks (with
a different register offset or private data of some sort).
