This seems tasteless.  If the driver is using raw I/O it needs to know
exactly what device it is working with, it shouldn't need to ask the
core about the properties of the device.  If it does that's a sign that
there's an abstraction problem somewhere along the line.  Most likely
the driver should be using bulk I/O instead.
