Hm. I think this is an artifact of the way we're treating WMI right now.
The assumption is that the interfaces are defined in namespace by their
GUID, whereas in fact they're defined by their ACPI namespace. Can we
avoid this by just setting the parent to the ACPI device's corresponding
Linux device (if present) and including the WMI device's name in the
dev_set_name call?
