Currently, bsg doesn't make class backlinks (a process whereby you'd get a link to bsg in the device directory in the same way you get one for sg). This is because the bsg device is uninitialised, so the class device has nothing it can attach to. The fix is to make the bsg device point to the cdevice of the entity creating the bsg, necessitating changing the bsg_register_queue() prototype into a form that takes the generic device.
