Together with d_devcode, this determines the medium. That means that 
if d_driver and d_devcode are identical, both drives lie on the same 
medium, and if the medium is to be ejected then both filesystems have 
to be locked. With a hard disk partition, d_biosdev is the BIOS drive, 
d_driver is arbitrary (e.g. pointer to the XHDI structure), d_devcode 
is the XHDI code of a medium, i.e. SCSI target and device number (one 
WORD in each case).
