Good idea, I'll make that change tonight.  The code I committed this
morning returns ENXIO for them so probe will get called multiple times.
Hmm, this may be more difficult than I first thought since some of the
internal routines walk all devices in the devclass, operating on their
resources.  This change would require that code to have an extra case,
"device here but not active".  Right now it assumes that if the device is
probed/attached, it is usable.
