I didn't say I plan to back it out -- I said if pushed to I would.
Meaning I wont fight much for it.  I still think there is definate worth
in having the probe message identify the Dell part (so we can find
testers).  There is no bug report against the driver in 5-CURRENT (which
I updated post 5.2.1).

This is has gotten into bikeshead teritory, especially since I'm the
closest thing we've had to a emu10k1 maintainer in 2-3 years.

As other have said: A sound driver probing, attaching, and failing to
work is orders of magnitude less an issue than for some other classes of
drivers.
