Hang them off of the device that the console belongs to?
Classes and busses are almost identical except: - busses is the binding of a driver to a device (usb, pci, etc.) - classes are usually userspace interactions to a device (input, tty, etc.)
So this sounds like a class to me.
If you want me to review this, I'll be glad to so do once 5.1-rc1 is out...
