I've always wondered, if a pseudo-device wants to be a device, why not
make it a device, put it in the device tree, all that stuff?  I even
hacked a "pseudo" bus (which attaches at mainbus, has no hardware, and
exists solely as a place for pseudo-devices to attach) into some
versino or other.  Wasn't hard, and I never quite understood why it
wasn't done that way from the get-go instead of having pseudo-devices
floating around in an unrooted limbo, not really devices but not
totally non-devices either.
