+o Enhance ioconf behavior for pseudo-devices

+ See "bin/48571: config(1) ioconf is insufficient for pseudo-devices" for
+ more details. In a nutshell, it would be "useful" for config to emit
+ the necessary stuff in the generated ioconf.[ch] to enable use of
+ config_{init,fini}_component() for attaching and detaching pseudodev's.
+
+ Currently, you need to manually construct your own data structures, and
+ manually "attach" them, one at a time. This leads to duplication of
+ code (where multiple drivers contain the same basic logic), and doesn't
+ necessarily handle all of the "frobbing" of the kernel lists.
