There's a comment in the code that explains it:

	/*
	 * XXX We unwisely assume that the detach code won't run while the
	 * XXX the attach code is attaching.  Someone should put some
	 * XXX interlock code.  This can happen if probe/attach takes a while
	 * XXX and the user ejects the card, which causes the detach
	 * XXX function to be called.
	 */
	strncpy(desc->name, device_get_nameunit(child), sizeof(desc->name));

I guess allocate_driver() could call device_get_children on
'pccarddev' and check if 'child' is among the list. That would
cover most cases of the device going away during the call to
device_probe_and_attach().
