Thanks a lot Eric.

I did some research on another FIXME that is actually related to your 
PnP work, which you might want to take a look at. You will notice that 
DEVICE_NODE has 2 non-NT members. I saw that you had some previous 
patches concerning this structure that removed some of the ROS-Only 
fields, and I guess you might want to get rid of the two ones remaning.

The first is BusTypeGuid. The correct way it should be handled is 
through a private array of GUIDs, which is indexed according 
DeviceNode.ChildBusTypeIndex.
When querying, you just return the GUID in 
IopXxxxx[DeviceNode.ChildBusTypeIndex], and when creating a bus type 
guid, you just write the index there. I hope that's clear enough.

The second is "Address". That field is actually already present in the 
DDK-documented DEVICE_CAPABILITIES structure. Therefore, when queried 
for it, simply send an IRP_MJ_QUERY_CAPABILITIES (or whatever the name 
is) to DeviceNode->PhysicalDeviceObject, and return the 
DeviceCapabilities.Address.

That should be less then 20 lines of code to change, but I don't want to 
break any PnP features since they aren't my speciality..

Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
