Whoa, shouldn't the dependent device always attach last? If it were a USB
controller instead of a serial port, you would _have_ to power it up before
probing anything beyond it. Theoretically there could be logical buses on
things accessed via serial port, although I can't think of any right now.
If we had any of these, wouldn't it be a very bad idea to attach the serial
device before it was really usable?

Now this Just Makes Sense(tm).
