Matt, David,
I was just wondering how little/how much was needed.
I'd prefer to see something more like:
USB bus #1 (UHCI)
USB bus #2 (OHCI)
Actually I would have done this yesterday but I ran
out of time.

A serial number based on a pointer would be dynamic, not the
same on each boot. That sounds confusing to users.
I also wouldn't try to read /proc/pci -- it's not meant for
program consumption, just human. Actually you can't depend
on /proc-fs being there.
A modification of the list above could be (adding some PCI info):
USB bus #1 (UHCI; vendor=xxxx, device=xxxx)
USB bus #2 (OHCI; vendor=xxxx, device=xxxx)
