Note that we need a separate module in any way: Daniel reported
problems getting the automake stuff to work within a subdirectory of
hurd-l4.  We are setting some defaults that are not appropriate for
the device driver stuff (as it should stay independent of any Hurd-L4
code).

So, for now, this can be a module in the Hurd repo.  As Daniels said,
if it happens to be usable and used on more than the Hurd, it makes
sense to move it to its own Savannah project.

Note that deva is a part of the Hurd proper, and will get into hurd-l4.

Thanks,
