I'm working on a sysfs driver to allow access to fw_cfg files via the
guest kernel (similar to e.g. /sys/firmware/dmi/entries/...). That
probably means I should go with QEMU0002 (0001 is already assigned to
the pvpanic device).

I'll use that in v2, which I'll send out once I get some feedback from
the arm side as well.

Thanks much,
