With over 4000 lines of change your patch is quite huge, that makes it
harder to understand all the changes you're making. There are 3 major
parts in this patch.

1. Adding the backend concept.
2. Move the current driver logic to a backend.
3. Adding a new backend.

Doing 1 and 2 in one patch and 3 in a second patch will simplify the
review process, because one is not forced to focus on all 3 aspects as
once :)
