As proposed, it's up to the architecture to provide that
specification. In theory this could be used for things other than IRQ
chips. We could still say that device creation functions return a
valid device ID (if the device has any attributes), as well as have
other architecture-specific ways of describing device IDs (static
enumeration). Or we could have non-architecture-specific static
enumeration. Or just require that all devices be explicitly created by
something that returns the ID.
Do you have a preferred approach?
