Hi,
is it possible to add dependencies after a device is attached ?

I have a include file, for simplicity:

device foobar {[slot = -1]}
attach  foobar at foobarbus

That device has some MI and MD parts. It's included
in the MD files.XXX as

include "dev/foobar/files.foobar"
file    arch/i386/foobar/foobar_machdep.c     foobar

Now, the problem is the MD parts needs bioscall.s. But that
is only included into kernel if any device depends on it.
However, I can't "add" a dependence to already existing
device, so I'm screwed.

I solved this particular thing by defining the device
with dependence in the MD files.XXX and pulling the other
staff from /dev/foobar/files.foobar, i.e in MD file:

device foobar {[slot = -1]}: bioscall
include "dev/foobar/files.foobar"
file    arch/i386/foobar/foobar_machdep.c     foobar

and the foobar (MI) file is just

# device foobar {[slot = -1]}
attach foobar at foobarbus

Is there any beter solution ? If not, I'd prolly add this
ability to config, probably using a :: notation - so that

device foobar :: bioscall

would add the dependency on bioscall to already defined device foobar.
