"Writing Device Drivers for Solaris - Seth Goldberg provided a whirlwind tour of
a week-long class on how to write a driver.  Seth touched on the DDI/DKI
interface, which provides terrific interface stability from generation to
generation, the device tree and tips and tricks.  There was a demonstration
driver source presented as well, and all of the commands to try it out.  I'll
have to do that when I get home!"

Sounds like the information is there (though possibly not GLDv3?), would
probably be good to highlight it more?
