We also use OpenBIOS for PPC and Sparcs. A compatible boot device for those would be OpenFirmware tree name. I think your names should then become: /pci/isa/f...@3f1/f...@0 /pci/isa/f...@3f1/f...@1 /pci/i...@0/1,0 /pci/i...@0/1,1 /pci/virtio-...@1 /pci/virtio-...@2 The PCI addressing scheme in OF was a bit twisty, I just invented integers in place of those. Anyway, I don't think we should invent yet another device path naming system.
