I think the property should be "name".
We already have a "driver" category.
So it may be "bus=vdev,name=mytap/driver=tap"

Until now we were using the name of the driver as a prefix for
the device name because it was the only way of knowing the driver to use.
With a richer syntax like above, this restriction can be removed.
