No the point is still the same as before. You let the drivers do the job 
if they are there, and then do a pass at very late time during the boot 
process to handle the ones that were not probed by any driver.

At least you will avoid the enable -> reset -> idle -> enable sequence 
we are doing right now for most of the active drivers when it is not 
necessary.
