Yes.  If the couldn't be probed, they would have been disabled even though
they were found in the tree.

I wonder a little about the on_mainboard flag.  It's possible that some of
these devices would have had that flag set if they didn't need to have a
ROM.  I don't know of a good way to automatically figure out which devices
that would apply to.
