How does it work now?  Does it collect all the information first and
then decide what is orphaned, or does it process it serially, thus making
something like

sd* at scsibus? target ? lun ?
scsibus* at ahc?

illegal?

[I would hope it had been constructed more intelligently, but if not,
that's my suggestion...]

...at which point I second the recommendation that orphaned devices
be turned into warnings.
