Well, not necessarily.  The internal details of SYSTEM_DRIVER should be
off limits to the user; system_driver should be considered as an opaque
pointer.  Neither SYSTEM_DRIVER nor system_driver are mentioned at all
in the documentation.

(That could probably be considered a bug in the documentation, although
I can't think of many uses, except for the "if (system_driver)" idiom.)
