Are there device tree entries for devices without kernel-level drivers,
like video cards on x86?   (I don't actually know much about how this
level works, just that no one likes it, and the people who do know talk
about how we need something better, but no one has ever been able to
tell us what we should make Xorg do instead on Solaris.   The Linux Xorg
community is working to replace the direct probing code in Xorg with a
new libpciaccess being written now - it would be great to have Solaris
support in there, but no one who knows Solaris PCI has stepped up to help.)
