This will break out-of-tree drivers but I don't really see a
realistic alternative. Also, I think the new symbol prefix ASY_ isn't
great and I'd like to get some suggestions.
Don't worry about breaking out-of-tree drivers, that's fine.
One request from this maintainer of several out-of-tree drivers: if
you break something, break it such that it won't compile.  It would be
nice to avoid changes that break functionality but still compile
without warning.
