how to assign a name to a PCI device, that user space ioctl() can use

Hello,
I am writing a driver for a "generic" PCI device, that is, not a
network card, or serial card, or anything with a special interface. I
just need to be able to open it and ioctl().
I want to know, once I initialize a PCI device that the driver
supports, how to assign the name to that device, that will then be
accessible to open() and ioctl() from user space.
To paraphrase justice Clarence Thomas, "I racked my brains on this" for
2 hours - I went over Rubini's latest edition chapter on PCI drivers
and searched the web everywhere I could think of, and nowhere, could I
find any information on this.
Please tell me. Mark Galeck
