Ugh, this "sprinkling" of calls all over different subsystems like this
isn't ok. Why is of just so broken that it has to do crap like this?

I really don't like this solution / series at all, sorry. We have
deferred probing, if you need stuff like that (where the dependancy tree
isn't in order), how slow is that really? What is taking your hardware
so long to init that warrents this being spread all across the tree?

thanks,

greg k-h
