Any one object to changing:
.Nm devclass_get_maxunit
.Nd find the maximum unit number in the class

to:
.Nm devclass_get_maxunit
.Nd find the next free unit number in the class

It looks like we may also want to change the description, as it doesn't:
Returns the next unit number to be allocated to device instances in the
devclass.

That's what devclass_find_free_unit does, though devclass_alloc_unit
doesn't use it.  devclass_find_free_unit is also missing a man page.
