Great!  Thanks for writing this.

So what we can do now is remove all the matches for individual devices
in the fdi file, and just match on the driver name for nozomi, airprime,
option, and sierra.  We'll have a few left-over items that aren't driven
by those, but those devices will either use cdc_acm (and therefore be
probed) or we can just tag them to be probed automatically.  Not sure
how this works on BSD and Solaris though; if they don't have separate
drivers to run the mobile broadband cards then they'd have to revert
back to the per-device tagging to know when to probe and when not to
probe.
