no DEVICES I said, there are plenty of filesystems, syscalls and misc 
modules to look at (and I have :) but it says in the TODO file

$NetBSD: TODO,v 1.2 1996/11/05 02:34:24 explorer Exp $

Always a lot to do.  :)

o  Learn how loadable devices can configure themselves, like the interrupt,
   dma, probing, attaching, etc.  Then start adding some of those to the

I appreciate and applaud all the work that has gone into this, I'm not
complaining - only noting facts - when I've finished the driver I'm trying to
write (he says, confidently :) then it will no doubt take its place under 
sys/lkm/dev as an example to others, if needed..
