willy and I talked offline and it seems like the right
answer is to backport _the user interface_ - ie something
that *looks* like sysfs but could be based on /proc.
I'd basically like to see all resources in struct parisc_device
exported using the same name as the field - matching sysfs field
names use for PCI where appropriate. Willy suggested id be broken
out into it's struct parisc_device_id parts and provided
directly has hex strings (eg hw_type entry could contain "0x5").
Details of how sysfs currently looks are still changing - don't get
hung up in the current details.
