86
* Lazy scanning to avoid accessing devices which aren't really used.
87
This avoids boot delay due to slow device scanning.
88
* Use CPU cache when accessing video memory.
89
* Search hints to first try the most likely device when searching for a
90
device with given UUID. This avoids slow scanning in most cases.
92
