I don't know if anyone else is aware of this,
but I just found out today about "UDI" - Uniform Driver Interface,
which is intended to make a standard interface between kernels and drivers, so
that a driver will only be written once, and will work on any intel platform and
OS.
You can find its homepage at http://www.sco.com/UDI/. I put a wiki
page up about it for user comments (under the topic UDI).
