    I tend to agree with the CAM/ata controller bit. Both were written
    before newbus was well integrated into the tree. It makes no sense
    that fdc has an fd newbus child but ata doesn't have an ad child.

    However, having said that, I think we do need additional event types
    because we're doing with different name spaces. But those events
    might be in devd rather than devctl given that we can get those events
    in userland in other ways if my investigations are OK.
