I was thinking more about storing a list of devices with parsed data,
i.e. basically put into a linked list what the current code collects
in the parse_dev struct.
Then we can easily lookup the virtio-mmio devices later. Maybe also
check for isa devices (don't bother waiting for ps2 probe timeout if
acpi says there isn't a keyboard ...). I don't see any other use
cases.

I don't want handle methods.
