Sorry, I'm not too hot about this.
Imagine being one of the people who has one of these cards.
Pulling out detection and working'ness of devices from a driver is a big step backwards, and I'm sorry I will don't want to be part of something that facilitates this.
The S390 folks tried something similar in the past and I reject those changes too.
Thanks.
