Not sure I completely understand this one.
Given that all the different bus ("resource"?) types have different
discovery mechanisms, I think you're proposing that, once discovered,
they will be recorded in a database of some form? In a unified format?
So we have, if you like, an array of objects each of which represents
a device in the system, and they each have state, `eject', `powerdown' methods,
etc?
Heh. XircomNic is-a CardbusDevice is-a PCIDevice is-a Device is-a blah.
It could get complex with devices behind bridges behind bridges. Is a
bridge a device? Do we need to care about bridges?
