If this is to be implemented in freebsd, and changes to the device driver interface are necessary, perhaps now is a good time to try to work toward a standard interface for all the BSD's? I think that this would be something that would be really nice to have, and would be well worth the work to all involoved. I suppose the easiest way for this to happen would be if the NetBSD interface, was acceptable to the FreeBSD team. It might also be a good step in acheiving architecture independance. Any thoughts?
