Actually, as far as i'm concerned, the "right thing" to do here is
jsut keep the # of the first unit to be allocated to cloning
(FSTATE_STAR) devices, then just search for a free slot.

simple, stupid, and it doesn't have to be particularly efficient, so
there's no point in going to a bunch of trouble optimizing it.
