Sorry, I was suggesting methods for the general case.  Yea, this is 
pretty much a "PSARC only" issue.

Right now, drivers often don't need ARC involvement (beyond the 
"register the name" paperwork - closed approved automatic).  I think the 
"closed approved" path is only appropriate (already) for DDI-compliant 
drivers...

    if <DDI-compliant>
       -> closed approved automatic
    else
       -> fast-track (or greater)

I think the only thing we need to do is to advertise and enforce the 
above, existing rule.  The question is "how to enforce".  I really don't 
have a suggestion for that.  (I suspect somebody will!)
