 looking at azalia.c 1.28 I found that the azalia_attach_intr()
 happily ignores return codes from azalia_init_corb(az) and
 azalia_init_rirb(az). Even on failure it attaches. furthermore
 there has been quite some action in azalia.c lately. Also the
 initialization loop only makes use of the delay function that
 has not caused any trouble after the timecounter merge.
 I am not yet convinced that timecounters is at fault for the
 crash.
 
 CC'd to the currently active azaliy committer.
