Thanks for the feedback! I'm trying to encourage architectures to share timesource drivers, so for now I'm not so worried if we end up with something that looks like drivers/net/. So unless you strenuously object, I say lets put it off until the need becomes a bit more apparent. Although its likely I'll agree with you once I've started working on converting ARM. :) thanks -john
