I do prefer something more like this one, I think it is nice that the
kvm specific driver will remain bound and visible so there is some
breadcrumbs about what happened to the system for debugging/etc.

Not sure how to do it, but I think it should be achievable..

Maybe even a simple faux/aux device and just pick up the of_node from
the parent..
