only as hideously complicated as the linux kernel interfaces might be,
but sadly those are indeed hideously complicated. try tracing the

of a driver you care about (because that's the only way to help
guess how
the undocumented hardware might work). good luck. see you later.
(much later.)
Indeed. Overheard in #plan9 recently: "Reading Linux driver source
code is where the fun stops." This may vary by device type, I think I
heard Linux framebuffer driver source was most useful to developers
of one OS.
