Either I'm not understanding your answer or you're not understanding my
question. Let me try to rephrase: If I want to have two devices, one
acting as a master and one as a slave such that the master acts as a bus
driver and causes new slaves to appear in the system, how can I connect
these two driver objects together such that they can share data structures
and call into each others private functions? If the two are separately
loaded drivers would I be limited to communicating between them with
standard channels such as by using device iocontrol messages?
