amdtemp module still broken



Even after the recent changes [1][2] to make amdtemp(4) attach to pchb(4) (rather than directly to pci), it still does not work.

There are, as far as I can tell, two separate problems.

1. The current amdtemp.ioconf incorrectly sets pchb as the pseudo-root and attempts to configure "amdtemp* at pchb?". The resulting ioconf.c ends up with no valid configuration data for the device. This one is relatively easy to resolve:

-amdtemp* at pchb?
+amdtemp* at amdtempbus?


2. The more difficult problem is that pchb(4) needs to have a rescan routine. Much of pchbattach() should probably move into pchbrescan(), but I think it would need some modifications to make sure that things don't get doubly attached. (I ran into this same problem when iic(4) grew its own rescan a few weeks ago, as part of modularization of the spdmem(4) and sdtemp(4) drivers.)

I can fix #1, but I'm not at all familiar enough with pcibus and pchb to tackle #2
