understanding newbus from the user (better driver writer) perspective is not
hard, it is well documented (the daemonnews article was nice).

what i want is one additional field in driver_t, but not in the drivers
private data.
atm, i think the best place is here:

typedef driver driver_t;

struct driver {
    KOBJ_CLASS_FIELDS;
#ifndef NO_NOTIFICATION
    void                *my_field       /* <----- HERE */
#else
# warning this usage is deprecated!!
#endif
    void                *priv;          /* driver private data */
};

i am not sure, if i will step *too hard* on newbus internals, so i wanted to
dig a bit deeper.

well, it does.
but this was more a question, on whether i should add a section to the
specific manpage, when i find the source.
i understood, that this is desired, so i just added one section to driver.9.
