I would generally disagree with this, as the FruDevice was meant to only 
be 1 type of probe, and I imagine in the future we'll have gpio, mctp, 
etc types of probes, and I would like to keep it generic as possible, 
and have EntityManager not care what it found on the other side of dbus. 
If there was some way to make it more generic I'd be interested.
