That was my original thinking.  I figure the important code of the ML2
driver could be reused if/when the switch is needed.  I'd really just
take the quicker path to making something work unless it's obvious that
ML2 isn't the right path.  As this thread is still ongoing, it certainly
doesn't seem obvious.
