description of a device
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>

DESCRIPTION
Manipulate the verbose description of a device. This description (if
present) is printed as part of the message when it is attached during
autoconfiguration. The variation device_set_desc_copy() is used to set
the description if the string passed is a temporary buffer which will be
overwritten. In this case, the system will copy the string, otherwise
the pointer passed will be used directly.
