The new code allows a different way of initializing XFree.  For example:

At install time Anacona/hotplug/whatever gets the right DRI device driver
installed.
Now assuming no xconfig file...
xfree loads, opens the first DRM device, and gets SUGGESTED_UNIQUE.
That will tell Xfree what video hardware to use.
Modes are all determined by the EDID/hardware exchange.
This should be enough to get xfree started without a config file.

This new scheme allows the entire PCI probing stage of xfree to be eliminated.
Of course, if these is an xconfig file the old scheme is used.

Also, the device driver claims both the primary and secondary PCI devices. They
are marked as such in the PCI id_table. In the card of the secondary devices
the driver just claims them and does nothing with them.
