When FreeBSD has trouble booting on some hardware, the lockup is silent
and leaves no clues about where the hang is happening, even if the user
is using boot -v. This makes it very hard for a tester to report
meaningful bugs.

Specific case in question: kern/44619. The hang was in eisa_probe, but
the kernel messages don't provide a clue.

So the proposal is to print the name of the device being probed and
attached before attempting to do it in

	kern/subr_bus.c:device_probe_and_attach()

if (bootverbose) is set.
