Actually, since at that point in time HAL is the only way to do device

point in the sysfs tree and a device node in /dev[1].
That information is available in /sys, which is how HAL discovers it.
If you wanted to, you could bypass HAL and go directly to /sys to
perform your own discovery. Also HAL is not a part of the linux kernel,
therefore a problem in HAL is NOT a problem in linux, even if there were
no other way to get the information as you ( wrongly ) asserted.
