Dealing with LKMs really only requires defining a way of specifying the locator arguments. Then, the autoconfiguration code locates the parent node, and attempts to match/probe the device given the new driver/locators. The reason THAT hasn't been done is because the LKM interface sucks rocks (and it's basically the same as FreeBSD's), but that's been known for a while. Jason R.
