As indicated by commit a7f4d00a82feb5b311f765bf9522bc55bee0684f ("zorro:
Defer device_register() until all devices have been identified"), cirrusfb
crashes if zorro_find_device() cannot find an expected device.

Rewrite the Zorro device probe code to make it more robust, easier to
understand, and more extensible.

Other logical changes:
   - For cards that show up as 2 Zorro devices, autoprobe graphics memory
     sizes based on the size of the Zorro device containing the graphics
     memory.
     Acording to the NetBSD sources, this is safe.
