I still think that will not work for all devices.
Network cards can be identified by mac property. Ok.
Disks can be identified by a (planned) drive property (which links to
the host config). By looking at the bus you can figure this is ide,
scsi, virtio or usb-storage disk. Fine.
Serial ports, parallel ports and virtio console need a link to a
CharDriver which can be used to identify this group. But not to keep
apart serial / parallel devices.
How do you identify vga cards?
How do you identify sound cards?
How do you identify storage (scsi/ide) controllers?
How do you identify watchdog devices?
cheers,
Gerd
