I like the idea, but can't we improve the implementation?  It seems
that we shouldn't need to allocate more than a working copy of the
original path string.  We can use strrchr() to find the last path
divider ('/'), match the slot.fn after that to the current devfn, set
that path divider to null, step to the next upstream device and
repeat.  Also, since we're working from a downstream device up, I
suspect we don't need to get and put references at each step, the
downstream device probably already holds a reference to the upstream
device for each step along the way.  It would be interesting to adapt
this to allow specifying a driver_override for a specific device as
well, I can think of a bunch of vfio users that would prefer that to
initrd scripts, but I know how much Bjorn loves more commandline
bloat ;)  Thanks,

Alex
