For example:

for key in find -P $mdev_base/$uuid/ \( -path
"$mdev_base/$uuid/power/*" -o -path $mdev_base/$uuid/uevent -o -path $mdev_base/$uuid/remove \) -prune -o -type f -print | sed -e "s|$mdev_base/$uuid/||g"); do
  [ -z ${config[$key]} ] && continue
  ... parse value(s) and iteratively apply to key
done

The find is a little ugly to exclude stuff, maybe we just let people do
screwy stuff like specify remove=1 in their config.  Also need to think
about whether we're imposing a delimiter to apply multiple values to a
key that conflicts with the attribute usage.  Thanks,
