.. and I bet it's not a design pattern, and this is total conjecture on my part:
* the original drivers weren't SMP safe; * noone really sat down and figured out how to correctly synchronise all of this stuff; * people did the minimum amount of work to keep the driver from immediately crashing, but didn't really think things through at a larger scale.
