Is this "driver" really a driver in the Linux sense or is it a shared
library that is used in FSP userspace?  Whatever code we end up using we
eventually need it to be upstream-able into the real Linux kernel.

Is this something that Dhruv can take on or is this going to be left to
Chris?  How do we handle divergence between the open-source code and the
IBM proprietary version (the one direction is an IBM-internal problem,
but I have concern that future development will only be happening on
the proprietary one and we'll have to keep playing catch up).
