2007/587 Volo reference

[James Carlson]

The DACF facility that Garrett was referring to is configured in
/etc/dacf.conf and is implemented in $SRC/uts/common/os/dacf.c.

See "Extensions to Device Autoconfiguration" (PSARC 1998/212).

It does look like the kind of mechanism that could create layered
drivers fairly nicely, though it's unclear how applicable that might
be for the Volo design.

(I'd suggest omitting a layered interface until there's a consumer on
the horizon with specific needs.  It's going to be very hard to design
some sort of plug-in interface without a specific target application
in mind.)
