Err, that's backwards.

If a device is not actually *present*, nothing should be printed (i.e.
the probe routine would return QUIET) ... perhaps the bus code should
actually do the bus_space_peek() to determine if a device is there before
calling the probe function.

In any case, if a device is present, and a driver is not in the kernel for
it, then "foo at bar0 offset ... not configured" should be printed.
