You can use it. Just like many platforms (of varying architectures) already do in other contexts, all using unmodified Linus kernels. Device tree is a well-documented cross-platform way of providing hardware identification information (and in great detail) to the kernel. I think it is the system you are asking for. Am I right in saying that its location in /proc is the main downfall that you are criticising it for? (i.e. would your viewpoint change if it appeared in /sys tomorrow?)
