> Consider the following scenario:
> 
>  1) primary process (A) starts, probes the bus
>  2) a secondary process (B) starts, probes the bus
>  3) yet another secondary process (C) starts
>  4) (C) registers the pci driver and hotplugs the device
>     * an IPC attach req is sent to the primary (A)
>       * (A) ignores the -EEXIST from process-local probe
>       * (A) propagates the request to all secondary processes
>         * (B) responds with -EEXIST
>       * (A) replies to the original request with the -EEXIST
>         return code
>     * the -EEXIST is returned back to the user, although the
>       device was successfully attached both locally and in
>       all other processes
> 
> This patch makes the primary process reply with rc=0 even if there was another
> secondary process with the device already attached. The primary process
> already didn't reply with -EEXIST when the device was attached locally, so now
> this behavior is even more consistent. Looking by the code, this seems to be the
> originally intended behavior.
