Erm, why is there a distinction between "adding device" and "adding it
to the PM core"?  That's a conceptual problem right there.  There
should be no distinctio.  (But it does make eminent sense to be able
to add a device without necessarily binding it to a driver, since
the "unbound driver" state is all over the place.)
