Locators are difficult to store when you consider cloned devices.  The
locator is "-1" :-).

I suppose the device structure could be changed to get an
"int *dv_loc" that is allocated when the device is attached
and filled in by the parent once the child has finished attaching
(that's the only way to fill in the correct locators).
