Potentially. Keep in mind that there is no need to built this if the
kernel is not built with ACPI.

Via the register/unregister calls that this provides? Or does ACPI bus
drivers get immediately called once the call acpi_bus_register_driver?

Or can one 'poke' the 'add' and 'remove' calls so that once the "true"
PAD driver is loaded it will restart the ops->add call?
