yes, the only other issue is that even on my little laptop this is 430
devices, so probing will slow up just a bit, as you do the mxn search for
'what device is that anyway'. We probably want a better way to figure out
what's on the bus and what driver it is. Probably something like 24.5M of
that 26M kernel image will be unused. If you don't care, I guess I don't
either.
