: Any idea where this should go? Might be time to grow a tool that grok's
: the newbus hierarchy and pushes requests to devices. I've wanted
: functionality like netbsd has recently added to control power to devices
: and this would be seem to be similar. Not sure if we can do something
: that'd unify programs like atacontrol and camcontrol (or whether this is
: a good idea).
I've wanted to maek devctl grow this sort of thing for a long time,
but never had time to implement this. It wouldn't be hard, just a bit
tedious. Also, there's two types of requests that would need to be
handled. One is where you tell a device to do something directly.
The other is where you tell its parent to do it to the child (and
maybe do some cleanup afterwards).
