Hey Isaac, this looks great! Starred and watched :)

Related, I've just committed some (very) preliminary code for
libudev-compat in the vdev repository that's meant to be both API and
ABI-compatible with libudev. I think we're working towards the same
end--make a library that can replace libudev but without depending on a
specific device manager.

If you're interested, I have some sysfs-parsing code written and tested for
vdev's Linux back-end, located here [1]. You might find it useful to
libsysdev. It's available under either GPLv3+ or ISC.
