This seems like a good plan to me however I am concerned that only
allowing links to be created at device registration time will prove
restrictive - it means we're going to ignore anything we figure out
later on in the boot sequence.  I would be very surprised if we didn't
need that, either from things that get missed or from things that get
allocated dynamically at runtime on systems with flexible hardware, and
it'd also mean that systems can start to benefit from this for suspend
and resume without needing the updates to the firmware parsing support.
