Huh, you're right, this doesn't look useful at all. I verified that the
screen code does indeed prevent the driver from loading (so this is
indeed redundant). Also, we need bufmgr to get the device ID, which is
well before we get here.
I could've sworn this was useful, but I bet I observed the driver
failing to load due to !bufmgr, then saw this code, and assumed it was
responsible for making that happen. But it isn't.
