I was thinking something similar.  If "idpf" is likely to be the final 
generic driver name (which makes sense), and Intel's driver is an 
Intel-device specific driver, can Intel use a more Intel-device specific 
name for their driver?  This would help both in reminding us that this 
isn't intended as the vendor-agnostic driver, and would prevent 
potential future name confusion.
