Order in which a driver attaches to devices

[Navdeep Parhar]

I have a system with multiple cards supported by cxgbe(4).  When I build 
a kernel with the driver compiled in, it attaches to the cards in a 
different order from when it's loaded as a module.  Why?  The network 
interfaces get re-ordered and this is quite annoying.

Regards,
Navdeep
