>Description:
We need a way for bus that is being rescanned to check if any of its
already-attached children have been "superseded" by a higher priority
match (which can happen with a newly-loading driver module).  If a
higher-priority device driver is now available it may need to evict
the current driver (assuming the current driver allows itself to be
detached).

See kern/59253 for a specific example.
