Duh. Good eyes. Fixed.

I think you're right.

I think drivers/base/bus.c: driver_attach() is what we want, which will
walk the list of the bus's devices and run bus_match() which is
pci_bus_match() which will scan for us. Just need to un-static
driver_attach() I expect. Pat, does this sound right?
If that works, probe_each_pci_dev() can go away. I'll play with it some
more.
Thanks,
Matt
