Hm, there is not need for such link atm. We can sync() XHDI (if there si 
such thing in XHDI), and then we sync() new drivers.

Yep, I know. We do not have to see it, we need to see driver.

That way, sync code will not call drivers to sync partitions, but just 
drivers, to sync devices.

W do not need to know antyhing, we do shutdown and then sync code talks 
to all drivers with hpe that drivers will behave ;)
