I like this patch a _lot_ better, nice job. Only one comment:

Oops, lost the tabs at the end of the function :)

This function will not link up a device to a driver properly within the
driver core, only with the pci code. So if you do this, the driver core
still thinks you have a device that is unbound, right? Also, the
symlinks don't get created from the bus to the device I think, correct?

Unfortunatly, looking at the driver core real quickly, I don't see a
simple way to kick the probe cycle off again for all pci devices, but
I'm probably just missing something somewhere...

thanks,
