Arjan van de Ven 6cd4958609 device model: Do a quickcheck for driver binding before doing an expensive check
This patch adds a quick check for the driver<->device match before
taking the locks and doin gthe expensive checks. Taking the lock hurts
in asynchronous boot context where the device lock gets hit; one of the
init functions takes the lock and goes to do an expensive hardware init;
the other init functions walk the same PCI list and get stuck on the
lock as a result.

For the common case, we can know there's no chance whatsoever of a match
if the device isn't in the drivers ID table... so this patch does that
check as a best-effort-avoid-the-lock approach.

Bootcharts for before and after can be seen at

Note the long time "agp_ali_init" takes in the first graph; my laptop
doesn't even have an ALI chip in it!  (the bootgraphs look a bit
dissimilar, but that's the point, the first one has a bunch of arbitrary
delays in it that cause it to look very different)

This reduces my kernel boot time by about 20%
