Replace the three hardcoded switch tables (pciDriverForIdentity, hidDriverFor,
usbDriverForIdentity) with an authoritative, human-readable device registry the
manager reads at boot. Matching is most-specific-wins across
base/subclass/prog_if/vendor/device/subsystem/hid, so a precise vendor:device
rule and a generic class rule coexist; an unmatched device is logged, never
guessed. This resolves docs' "matching stays code until the third bus".
- ABI: child_added and DeviceDescriptor gain vendor/device/subsystem; child_added
gains a bus discriminator (BusKind) so PCI and USB class triples match against
the right namespace.
- pci-bus reads vendor/device (config 0x00) and subsystem (0x2C, type-0) and
reports them.
- library/device/registry: freestanding CSV parser + matchDriver() with
specificity scoring; 5 unit tests wired into `zig build test`.
- etc/devices.csv bundled into the initrd; the kernel serves /etc directly, so
the manager reads it before any filesystem service is up (fat starts later).
- virtio-gpu: drop the now-redundant post-spawn 1AF4:1050 re-confirm, since the
registry binds this driver by exact identity.
- Remove the orphaned system/drivers/display driver (unreferenced by build or
registry).
- docs: new devices-csv.md; device-manager.md "matching stays code" resolved.

Update the docs to match the reorganized tree:
- driver-model.md: the "Families" graph now shows library/device/<domain>/
(data + logic split) and library/protocol/ instead of the old bus/ + proto/
sketch; add the microkernel note (the kernel's one library/ import is the
device-abi data module) and the rule that a driver's hardware command set is
not a service-seam protocol.
- README.md "Repository layout": device-abi and the protocols move out of
system/ into library/device/ and library/protocol/; rewrite the "public
interface as a module" paragraph around the protocol tree and the device
domains; fix the source-map paths.
- Sweep every remaining stale path reference across docs/ to the moved files.
- Fix vfs-protocol.zig's own header (the standalone VFS server retired; the fat
server is the backend today).
zig build + test green.
power-protocol -> library/protocol/power/power-protocol.zig. Its two consumers
(init and the acpi discovery service) import it directly; the
runtime.power_protocol re-export and the runtime module import are dropped (no
runtime client speaks it). The now-empty system/services/power/ is removed.
This completes library/protocol/: every driver<->service wire contract lives
there and is imported by module name, no protocol is re-exported through
runtime, and the alias chaos (dp/sp, mixed protocol/<x>_protocol) is resolved.
virtio-gpu-protocol stays a driver-private relative import (a hardware command
set, not a driver<->service seam — like virtio-pci.zig beside it).
zig build + test green; power-button, orderly-shutdown pass.
display-protocol -> library/protocol/display/, scanout-protocol ->
library/protocol/scanout/. Consumers import both directly, killing the cryptic
dp/sp aliases in virtio-gpu (now display_protocol / scanout_protocol) and the
runtime.display_protocol / runtime.scanout_protocol re-exports. runtime.display
(the client) still imports display-protocol by name; scanout has no runtime
client, so its runtime module import is dropped too.
zig build + test green; display-service, virtio-gpu, display-native,
display-reattach pass.
device-manager-protocol -> library/protocol/device-manager/. Its consumers
(pci-bus, usb-xhci-bus, the acpi discovery service, device-manager, device-list,
crash-test, and the not-yet-built intel-integrated display sub-driver) import the
module directly instead of through runtime.device_manager_protocol, which is
deleted. runtime.device_manager (the hello client) already imported the module
by name and is unchanged.
zig build + test green; device-manager, driver-restart, device-list, pci-scan pass.
input-protocol -> library/protocol/input/input-protocol.zig. Its five
consumers (usb-hid keyboard/mouse, ps2 keyboard/mouse, the input service) now
import the module directly and alias it input_protocol, replacing the
runtime.input_protocol re-export (deleted) and the inconsistent local `protocol`
aliases. runtime.input (the client) still imports the module by name.
zig build + test green; input, acpi-ps2, usb-hid pass.
vfs-protocol -> library/protocol/vfs/vfs-protocol.zig. fat, its only consumer,
now imports the module directly (const vfs_protocol = @import("vfs-protocol"))
instead of through runtime.vfs_protocol, and the runtime re-export is deleted.
The runtime's own client (runtime.fs) still imports the module by name.
zig build + test green; vfs, fat-mount pass.
Start the protocol tree: wire protocols move to library/protocol/<name>/,
entry file <name>-protocol.zig, module name unchanged. block and usb-transfer
are pure moves — every consumer already imports them by module name, so only
the b.addModule paths change and the empty system/services/block/ is removed.
block-protocol -> library/protocol/block/block-protocol.zig
usb-transfer-protocol -> library/protocol/usb-transfer/usb-transfer-protocol.zig
zig build + test green.
