Can you plese send me your patches for this?

That said, the reason I need a pseudo-device to have a "struct device"
is because I need to attach real children to it.

(As an aside -- the particular case I am working on is that of an iSCSI
initiator -- it is entirely software, and the device instance doesn't
exist until a mangement program creates it, but a "scsibus" needs to attach
to it...)
