driver X follows these steps
1. see if a compatible chipset/device appears to be available
since it is referenced by memmap_init_zone (which is __meminit) via the
early_pfn_in_nid macro when CONFIG_NODES_SPAN_OTHER_NODES is set (which

Again, I object to changing a documented interface when it's not

Quite frankly, any probing strategy that isn't relevant to PCI simply

No, it's not the only bus, but if something isn't relevant to PCI it
shouldn't be in any
