I think the approach is fine, and the code also looks fine for the most
part. Some comments:

- various patches can be squashed together to give a better
  understanding at a glance
- this needs documentation (as I already said)
- some of the driver/device modelling feels a bit awkward (commented in
  patches) -- I'm not sure that my proposal is better, but I think we
  should make sure the interdependencies are modeled correctly
- some minor stuff
