Once si_drv0 is publicly available then I would have no problem with doing
that, but abusing the unit number is non-obvious to me. Traditionally
si_drv[12] have been the publicly available fields for drivers to use, and
I'd rather stick to that until si_drv0 joins them and can be used directly.
Using si_drv0 is also something that can't be MFC'd to 7.x.
