i've thought about this, we probably need to make handle hashing a driver 
option, if a driver is currently safe then we can just set it by default 
for that driver, however otherwise we should use a setparam from the DDX 
to tell the driver that the DDX is at least safe or not ..

In this way and old 2D driver isn't going to fall over hopefully..
