It is pretty easy:
-in files.gpio, change the declaration to
 defpseudodev gpiosim: gpiobus
 and remove the "attach" line
-in the kernel config, change "gpiosim0 at root" (or what you have there) to
 pseudo-device gpiosim 1
 (or a higher number if you want multiple instances)
-add a gpiosimattach(int) function to gpiosim.c. It will be called
 automatically, with the integer argument from the config file, as
 usual for pseudo devices.
 In that function, you can call config_attach_pseudo(9) to attach
 the actual instances. See eg sys/dev/vnd.c for an example.
 You can do that multiple times, hinted by the integer argument,
 if you want to allow multiple instances.
 (You can attach or detach at runtime as well if you have a way
 to initiate that from a control program or so.)

best regards
Matthias
