I'm not sure about the intermittent probing behaviour, but there
are known bugs in CAM that cause it to crash in camisr() if a device
goes away while being probed. There have been some improvements in
this area in -CURRENT, so if you like you could try a CAM patch
too:

Note that this is just a blind backport - I haven't even tested
that it compiles.
