This is very cool. I look forward to being able to run FreeBSD on a cPCI
chassis for one very strong reason: cPCI has geographical PCI addressing
support. If we had a clean way of using this to number network interfaces,
even better -- it's been a bone of contention with router control plane
software (i.e. XORP) for a while.
