In my opinion, there are enough differences between NetBSD and other
systems that 'imported device drivers' have to be sufficiently careful
about what they're doing that:

#define bzero(...) ...

isn't going to even be a small fraction of what they have to do.


For instance, consider what an 'imported' PCI device driver must do to
fit into NetBSD:
	(1) deal with our PCI bus attachment & resource access
	    functions, which, as far as i know, are different
	    than those on other systems,
	(2) deal with stuff like the interfaces <machine/bus.h>, if
	    they're actually going to go into /sys/dev/pci, and
	    claim machine-independence,

each of those is a fair number of diffs, unless the driver is very
carefully written...

Importing drivers really isn't an issue to me, anyway; it doesn't
happen much, and generally when it does you end up regretting it.  8-)
