Precisely. I finally realized this last night, as I explain at
greater length elsewhere.

Believe it or not, the reason that this did not occur to me is
that I did not realize that when we said "write a device driver
in C" we actually meant "write a program that _is_ a device
driver", I assumed we meant "write a program that writes a
device driver". Simple ignorance.
