I'm somewhat puzzled about the case where we have a driver that can work on EISA bus, as well as others, when modprobe'd on a system that doesn't have an EISA bus.
It seems we do a probe really early on to see if we actually have an eisa bus, but if a driver later calls eisa_driver_register() we still do lots of hoop jumping through sysfs/kobjects before deciding that we don't have the device.
Wouldn't it make sense to have eisa_driver_register() check that the root EISA bus actually got registered, and if not, -ENODEV immediately ?
