Heads-up: driver developers

Subject: Heads-up: driver developers

If you deal with driver packaging, read on...

My putback of

  PSARC 2007/176 path-oriented driver alias
  6536151 path-oriented driver alias

supports add_drv(1M) '-i' aliases without double quotes. With this
putback, aliases added to /etc/driver_aliases are always quoted, even
when the CLI alias is unquoted.  Previously, some unquoted alias
strings appeared to work, yet caused parsing errors on reboot.

For compatibility with install servers running older versions of
Solaris, driver packaging scripts should continue to use double
quotes.
