Discussion
The entry ID returned by IORegistryEntryGetRegistryEntryID can be used to identify a registry entry across all tasks. A registry entry may be looked up by its entryID by creating a matching dictionary with IORegistryEntryIDMatching() to be used with the IOKit matching functions. The ID is valid only until the machine reboots.
