To fix the LLDDs would force drivers that have a parent bus not converted
to the driver model to take on a excessive amount of code to show up as a
class (properly).

I also believed the "pseudo" driver I had to create to use classes was a
abuse of the interface. I will look into the changes happening with
classes.

Where are the attributes written down for evaluating important vs not
important subsystems.

What interfaces am I abusing. I have used api's documented by you.
