Perhaps these driver-specific items could be handled by callbacks into
the driver, similar to driver-specific XML parsing and formating
callbacks in the common domain_conf code.

I don't know the reason for that change, but it would seem desirable to
manage USB devices without needing to wait for some operation on a PCI
device to complete.
