Unless I'm missing something, that fact isn't being tracked anywhere
in the disk device manager code. The directory creation happens solely
in the kit classes in userland, so there's no persistent spot where
any client using the disk device framework would be aware of the
dynamically created directory except the VFS itself. Unless you'd
rather have some notification sent to the kernel-side disk device
manager to let it know about it, I don't see a better way to keep
track. Thoughts?

Well, I was thinking more in case other kinds of metadata might be
nice there, but understood.
