I looked through the Raven ERS, it wasn't too helpful.  I managed to find
the Dino driver in the HPUX source tree.... it doesn't seem to make the
call itself, but instead:

    /*
     * Loop thru the fixed_mod_table looking for a fixed module
     * that is a child of Dino.  Start at whatever index we just
     * figured out from the hardware path of the last module found.
     */
    for(; idx < nfixed_modules; idx++) {
        entry = &fixed_mod_table[idx];
        
        if (is_child_of(entry, parent_path))
        {
#ifdef RDB
            /*
             * Ignore the serial port if RDB is using it.
             */
            if ((entry != NULL) && (!(IS_RDB_DEVICE(entry->reg_set))))
#endif
                    return entry;
        }
        /* else not a child of dino - loop again */
    }

    /*
     * If we exit the loop without returning anything, we must not
     * have found the rs232 entry in the FMT.  The rs232 is not to
     * be used in this system, so return NULL
     */
    return NULL;

So it seems to me that we shouldn't do bus-walks underneath Dino, but
rely on PDC telling us about the device if it's attached.
