I just realized there is no mention of "parent" in this patch.  Are
the WMI devices created without a parent device?  If so I believe they
would show up in /sys/devices/virtual, which seems wrong.  I think the
WMI devices ought to be children of the relevant ACPI device.

I also wonder if WMI should be a bus, instead of a class.  I guess
that's more work, but perhaps it can be fixed up some time in the
future.
