This might solve some problems people were having with the Palm m50x
devices.  If the driver doesn't bind to the device, then coldsync can
driver the device all by itself.

That should lay to rest the "the visor driver is eating the data" rumors
that people have on this list :)

But the throughput shouldn't be as fast as the kernel driver.  Or so I'm
guessing.  Time to go run some speed tests.
