We should probably only put back the original value if we completely fail 
to probe the device, _AND_ if it appears to be behaving like RAM (i.e. if 
the contents of the address are exactly what we wrote to it.

Alternatively, we could accept the fact that we overwrite some bytes in a 
RAM chip when we unload and reload its driver, and just not bother to write 
back those bytes at all.
