Everything under /sys/devices and /sys/bus are of type struct device. This would be a big core change to try to do this. As for your comment of "thousands of different busses", I don't quite understand. We have unique directories in /sys/class for the different _types_ of bus hosts and classes. If I have a box with 40,000 scsi devices, I still only have 1 /sys/class/scsi_host directory. If you think this is important, hey, I'm always willing to look over patches :) thanks, greg k-h
