Hi,
my understanding is that hv driver is actually a bit special in this
respect -- it's actually all-in-one both low-level and high-level driver.
I take it that there is not ever going to be a different high-level driver
using low-level hv transport (is that correct, KY?), so this might indeed
be an acceptable layout of the driver.
Thanks a lot,
