Transport is fine but management of devices is clearly something
nvidia's patches do. So I think it's best to reuse the concept of device
groups for this, from Max's patchset. Let's not replicate that work at
least. I promised Max to help a bit with wording so I'll soon send a
revision of his patchset, the generic part about device group
from which you should be able to reuse.
