Hmm, can you get 'pciconf -lb' output?

Hmm, wow, I wonder how uart(4) works at all.  It tries to reuse it's softc
structure in uart_bus_attach() that was setup in uart_bus_probe().  Since it
doesn't return 0 from its probe routine, that is forbidden.   I guess it
accidentally works because of the hack where we call DEVICE_PROBE() again
to make sure the device description is correct.
