The entire PCI probe/attach process is going to have to change, however I
don't see it changing all that much. It is hard to detect devices that
are "onboard" as opposed to being in physical slots, and there is no
consistent mechanism that one can take to always get them "first".
In short, what you're asking for is difficult to achieve consistently,
and not really worth the effort. Your onboard ethernet is fxp1. Deal
with it.
