Not that I'm aware of (besides something like you posted).

Maybe early MD code should be allowed to precreate device_t nodes
and let autoconfiguration proccess use them instead of creating
fresh ones. But this is kind of forward-thought, there's quite a
couple of things in our autoconf machinery that need to change
"device_t == ${foo}softc" being the most evil.
