Ah, well...  In that case, I check to see if there's 1 or 3 numbers separated 
by periods specified for the device.  So, 0123 versus 0.0.0123.  If one number, 
then I pre-pend 0.0. to it, otherwise I leave it alone, other than to make sure 
the first two "levels" are a single digit each.  Then I look in 
/sys/bus/ccw/devices/ to see if that busid exists.  If not, bail out.

There are other sanity checks, but in essence, I already did what you suggested 
when I first wrote the script.  I just didn't allow 0.0123 as a valid input.
