We have worked very hard at this. On a particular machine, yes, it should be deterministic. On each bus, we probe in bus-order. For instance, pci or isa, or pcmcia, or cardbus. Slots, connectors, functions, etc. There may be a race in usb for how devices respond, but I bet it is small and not really that worrying. One day maybe someone can look at it. One card is special, ep(4) because of plug & play. But I bet that is not what anyone is concerned about. But even that man page lays out the probe order...
