I see that a mechanism for fast lookup of hardware identification data is needed. However, why should such a mechanism depend on udev, systemd, or Linux in general? What I would really like to have is a universal library for HW lookup, independent of anything else and widely portable. All the hardware data would be provided by other packages -- pci.ids, usb.ids, kernel modules, etc. -- and compiled to a binary format available for instant queries. Do I miss anything?
