The EDD sysfs symlinks would like something like this, not only for
PCI (it does this today by calling pci_find_slot() with the values
BIOS tells it), but doesn't have the infrastructure for making
symlinks to the underlying ATA, SCSI, SAS (coming), ... devices.  I
removed the horrible hacks I put in to try to guess what a device is,
and don't create the symlink from the EDD device to the actual disk
device.  But it would be nice to have a generic method to do it so I
can add that back in.

Thanks,
Matt
