I would suspect that I've messed up the match/attach code someplace.
The dc device appears to be the only other device that configures on the
mainbus or on an IOASIC [or at least appears to for the autoconfig
stuff]. I've looked at the match/attach code, but I don't see any
obvious problems yet - I need to think about it a bit. I'd suspect
that the match routine is accessing a bad pointer.
