I wasn't trying to be rude, but DEVICE_PROBE(9) seems to describe how
conflicts like this should be handled. I was wondering if I am in fact
correct that devices that attempt to be generic enough for wide support
(accepting PCI_ANY_ID) should also properly pass the probing (by
returning some negative) so that a driver that may better fit the exact
device can attach.

I _really_ am only interested in answers to the above question.
