It's still kind a strongly connected set of functionalities, but I get
your point.

I'd consider splitting for a slighly different angle:

1. Commit for the base driver.
2. Commit for each ioctl, adding the necessary "framework" to get that
   piece of functionality completed. The order would be:
   A. Create
   B. Add
   C. Initialize

Would be probably easier to review also this way because the commit kind
of rationalizes why things exist.

What do you think?
