Hi Robert - The driver framework still exists in the full source form 
in the 3.0 release, in fact we use the drivers for our regression tests.

The infrastructure for writing device drivers when using the SDK
is a bit lacking, which we are aware of.  If you have drivers
which are using the driver framework present in 2.1, one temporary
workaround may be to use OKL4 3.0 in source format, or pull 
in the necessary bits to generate the driver object files.
