Hi Neel,

In the future please avoid posting to multiple threads on the same
topic.

I'm not sure what the problem is here.  I cc'ed Doug, the author of the
driver, to see if he can help.  For context, the goal is to add support
for a new device (ID 0x9a0b) to vmd(4), but vmd_bus_attach() fails with
the aforementioned error.  We found a minor bug already in that
vmd_attach() does not call rman_fini() in error paths, but I don't know
enough about vmd to usefully comment further.
