Ah.  Yes, I think we'll have to do something like what I did for cpu 
devices.  Basically, cpu0, cpu1, etc. implement a pseudo bus and 
multiple drivers attach below it.  Do a devinfo to see this.  There is 
no real way in newbus to have multiple drivers attached to a device if 
it doesn't implement a bus interface.

This will require some design thinking.
