Loading drivers via kldload

[David Somayajulu]

This is pretty bizarre. I have been experimenting with a very simple driver (see source below) which essentially checks the PCI vendor and Device ID's in the probe routine. The attach and detach are empty functions. When I run kldload and load the driver in a system with HBAs which have a valid Subsytem Vendor and Device ID's, the driver loads and attaches to the functions.

However when the Subsystem Vendor and Device ID's are zero, the system panics and the stack trace is as shown below(FreeBSD 8.2 on amd64 machine). I don't understand why ata_pci_attach() is getting invoked. I even put a panic() call at the top of qla_pci_probe(), and noticed that it wasn't getting invoked!

It depends on the specific driver.  FreeBSD doesn't check for the PCI ID
in general.  Usually, drivers contains a routine that check if this driver
can be used with that hardware based on the PCI ID.
