I don't see why this would be simpler. Also how can you do exact string
match if BDF is not knows? You can't create device path without knowing
BDF (well DF). My code works like OpenFirmware device path was designed
to work: match device path one node at a time. This also allows for
greater flexibility in qemu<->seabios interface.
