How can the external program know which set of locators
belongs to a particular device?
There is the cfdriver->cd_name member (which the
device->dv_xname is derivied from), but this does not need to
be the name known to "config".
One can of course lookup cfdata->cf_driver in the symbol table 
(should be xxx_cd), but this is ugly.

Am I missing something?
