In FreeBSD, if the EISA bus is configured into your kernel, slot
space is always probed.  The short answer for why this was done
was to allow the 2842 to use the EISA probe code instead of basically
having to duplicate it into its own probe (the slot space is
going to get probed anyway).  Before you fill my mail box with messages
about how much of a hack this is, please read the discussion Terry L.
and I had on this issue in the FreeBSD-current mailing list.
