Yes, I already have read more into the ofpath sources and what it actually
does is constructing Open Firmware pathnames differently depending on the
bus system and device driver being used.
So, it will take a little longer to get that functionality into ofpathname
given all the testing and verification necessary on different machines.
Besides, ofpathname does not support partitions for SCSI devices (for some
reason that's only supported for NVME devices), so that needs to be added
as well.
