Can anyone tell which are the autoconf tables created and how they are
classified.

I assume that attach functions are called only when there is a succesful
match for a particular device even in the case of config_found_sm.

When is the attach function called in the case of config_search and who is
going to make the call.
Can anyone please clarify these.
