Device drivers are kept in a linked list.  I wrote a program to load a
given driver and insert it in the linked list, then spawn() a child 
(which can be another shell).  When the child exits, the driver gets 
removed from the list.  This is very handy for debugging device drivers!
It was pretty simple to write; it doesn't belong to me so I can't post it,
but if you want I can give you some tips.
