I'm not sure I like the API changes you've made to subr_bus. Why are
they needed?

That's one of the main reasons that this hasn't happened yet. The
hard part is getting all of the devices in place before sending
notifications. Robert Watson had a similar thing that I think solved
some of the problems a little better...
