Are these mach_print calls still needed for your debugging?  I'm fine
with committing some of them for now, but perhaps they are now useless
already?

Most of this doesn't seem to be used? Only this:

+/* This structure is associated with each open device port.
+ * The port representing the device points to this structure.  */
+struct emul_device
+{
+    struct device_emulation_ops *emul_ops;
+    void *emul_data;
+};
+
+typedef struct emul_device *emul_device_t;
+
+#define DEVICE_NULL     ((device_t) 0)
+
+/*
+ * Generic device header.  May be allocated with the device,
+ * or built when the device is opened.
+ */
+struct mach_device {
+       struct port_info port;
+       struct emul_device      dev;            /* the real device structure */
+};
+typedef        struct mach_device *mach_device_t;
+#define        MACH_DEVICE_NULL ((mach_device_t)0)




I see that most of the patch is actually coming from the incubator's
dde-based libmachdev. I'd rather avoid having two copies of that code in
different Hurd repos :)

I'd say what we want to do is:

- put the files common to dde-based and rump-based libmachdev to
  libmachdev/.  That includes basically all your files except disk.c,
  machdevrump.c and Makefile. The only real discrepancy I see is in
  ds_routines.c' call to l4dde26_process_from_ddekit, but we can make
  libmachdevdde provide a function that does that call then call
  ds_server(). AIUI the call to is_master_device() should indeed be made
  like in the incubator?  I don't think we should deallocate it at the
  very least, was it really needed in your tests?

- move the dde-based files (for network) to a libmachdevdde/

- put your rump-based disk.c to a libmachdevrump/

and the rumpdisk daemon will just need to link in both libmachdev and
libmachdevrump.
