Your thought to pick one subsystem and implement multithreaded probing is

of the final step in initialization... (Like in case of the SCSI subsystem.
People usually want to wait for all scanning threads to finish before the
system proceeds to mount filesystems.)
Would love to see this happen to platform devices...
