Since I think the device naming needs work (PCI/USB/... bus level,
then levels above like "eth0", /dev/lp0, and so on) I'll just say that the
interference issues should be globally removed by providing and using
stable names (in the right ways :-).

That gets interesting. How would a usermode program request that,
say, the PCI or USB devices now present all get "hotplug" events?
I agree that it's likely easier to solve the locking issues "well" there,
but wonder how those dots would get connected.
