BTW, what do you think of a new PCI style probing for SBUS?
When I hacked on a small sbus driver, I thought it might be a good idea
to have tables like the new PCI interface for all busses.

The interface for SBUS would be:

struct sbus_device_id {
        char * promname;
        unsigned long driver_data;
};

struct sbus_driver {
        struct list_head node;
        char * name;
        struct sbus_device_id * id_table;

        int (* probe)(struct sbus_dev * dev, const struct sbus_device_id * id);
        void (* remove)(struct sbus_dev * dev);
};

Would you accept such a change for 2.5?
