Subject: [Patch 3/4] Driver core: Per-subsystem multithreaded probing.
From: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@...ibm.com>
Make multithreaded probing work per subsystem instead of per driver.
It doesn't make much sense to probe the same device for multiple drivers in
parallel (after all, only one driver can bind to the device). Instead, create
a probing thread for each device that probes the drivers one after another.
Also make the decision to use multi-threaded probe per bus instead of per
device and adapt the pci code.
