Having just spent 5 hours debugging a silent hang in EISA bus probe

device_probe_and_attach explicitly announce the device it's going to
probe if bootverbose is set ?
Thought I'd ask here before I submit a PR.

Well, knowing that the kernel hangs in a function called configure

I just got a kernel mode page fault. I'd like to find out more
about

It looks like the address is meant to signal a particular class of
error. Which one ?

Look for a short value that's getting set to 132.
As I said in another email, I think this is td1-td_priority in

Going through the 4.4 BSD book, I learnt that the purpose of the pv_table
is to be able to locate all the mappings to a given physical page.
However, comparing this to the Linux approach, which chains vm_area_struct
(analogous to vm_map_entry in FreeBSD) together to locate the shared
mappings, it
