Pierre,
this is independent from this series and should have been sent separately.
In the end (when we have the final solution) this will require cc stable.

I have seen libvirt looping when a matrix device was available before the
libvirt start.
Marc Hartmayer debugged this and circumvented this in libvirt:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2019-February/msg00837.html
Still libudev expects a subsystem link in the matrix folder when doing the
udev_enumerate_scan_devices call.
Having a bus is one way of adding a subsystem link.
