Sounds good. Any concrete ideas? Is it for all devices or just part of them? Seems it's difficult to directly make a set of generic interfaces available for all devices. How about implementing the sub-interfaces for each domain, and then gather and think about the generic interfaces. Such as usb devices can have a userland driver based on libusb, some pci devices can have a userland driver based on libpci+, ... etc. Afterwards, an uplevel wrapper can be used to generalize the different interfaces. Thanks.
