I think we're on the right track.

How is this possible?  How can a device be detached before it is
attached?

Anyway, if we are going to check if `sc_vs_cur' is set, can we do it in 
uvideo_open() to ensure it is not possible to open such device?

Then, I'd suggest you move the check inside uvideo_close() to ease the
understanding and for symmetry ;)

And should we set this pointer just before /* init map queue */ in
uvideo_attach_hook()?  Before that some operations might fail...
