Hi,

I'm currently working on USB and I have been thinking about a simple way to 
find what devices an USB device creates, and how to easily present that 
information to the user.

I know there is "devinfo" and I would like to extend this utility to also show 
which devices under /dev belongs to the device.

Implementation:

"make_dev" takes an additional "device_t parent_device" argument and creates a 
child device with some magic flags set.

Any comments ?
