I've just fixed the bt848 driver (bktr) where the
cdevsw_add() was accidentally added to the BSDI bktr_probe()
and not the FreeBSD bktr_probe.

Although Bruce and Nick said this really belongs, in the _attatch()
function, I've kept it in the _probe() function for consistency
with all the other drivers.
