That's the thing - I tried to reproduce this several times and either:
a) The system had cache information in DT and the directory was
   created. If I hot unplugged and re-plugged the directory was
   re-created.
b) The system had no cache information in DT and the directory was never
   created.

You said in your original report that you came across this problem in
qemu - can you share the qemu command required to reproduce please?

Thanks,
Conor.
