You are certainly right about "information hiding". But if each driver does the hiding in its own particular way, you get nowhere fast. Yes, Linux has information hiding in place (like the list handling macros, much of the driver interface, ...). Use that. You could even write a glue layer from Linux conventions to other systems ;-)
