[PATCH] allow to register interfaces after devices

hi :)


i had a problem some of my code that registered a interface for cpu_devclass
was being run after cpu devices got added to the class.

current code only adds those devices to the interface that are
added after registering the interface.
this patch changes it by walking all devices that are already registered
to intf->devclass.
