Also, _no_ driver should ever be doing this type of "hey, look at me,
I'm now loaded!" type syslog spam anymore.  It's pointless, and should
be abolished where ever possible.  That's one reason we have moved to
the driver init type functions that make this impossible to do, and if
possible, I recommend doing that here as well.
