To get right to the point...

What I'd like to see is the SES model adopted in it's entirety. Almost
everything else, SAF-TE as well, is a subset of what SES provides. I'd
like to see the same API for motherboard/DMF as well as SCSI/SES and
SCSI/SAF-TE. 

Just off the top of your head, does this seem too wacky or is it
reasonable? I've had the stubs of an SES/SAF-TE driver for NetBSD for over
a year (unfinished...).
