+Remarks for David & Lionel:
+
+- Too much changes to not start over;
+- Lack of methods is extremely annoying and requires a lot of workarounds (e.g:
+  see the register read/write/set/unset methods on e1000::Context);
+- I'm using a pointcut inside the ethernet context "decl data_types" to inject
+  my hardware context; it's impossible to get it back without hardcoding stuff,
+  because the ethernet subsystem isn't aware of the type of the field (so I
+  can't write an attribute). Being able to just inject a type (instead of a
+  whole structure field) might not be the best solution but would solve this
+  issue/use case;
+- Can I use the same name for a pointcut and a sequence (e.g: Ethernet::send
+  bot a sequence name and a pointcut same thing for the interrupt handler);
+- Lack of support for circular dependencies make some code annoying or
+  incorrect (circular dependencies between abstract and concrete types via the
+  attribute or circular dependencies between the rings and the hardware
+  context).
+
+Todo/Totry:
+
+- Use the rtx_ether_ctx attribute on AbstractDevice to initialize Device
+  objects in ethernet.bl;
+- Worry about the code being executed concurrently, e.g: what happens if the
+  interrupt handler is called right before we disable it in the close path?
