There's a pserialize scheme for this; see e.g. an old thread called
"kicking everybody out of the softc".

The catch for arbitrary drivers is that you need to do the enter
business using the softc *before* using [cb]devsw to jump into the
driver, but the current way all of that works is the other way
around. This really needs to be restructured...
