And an unmaintable mess. At least the way milo does it. No offense
but because milo hooks drivers at such a low level it comes very close
to being unmaintable, because it does not track the internal kernel
API very well so if you build with a different setup you have problems.
It might be possible to abstract this and have easily maintable code
that you can mix and match kernels with, but I haven't seen the techniques
yet.
