Hi Samuel,
I need to figure out the next step of rumpdisk, using the arbiter instead of
faking the arbiter.

How do i make a bootstrap translator such as pci-arbiter expose a device name
in the master device port?
I want to be able to device_open("pci") and a bootstrap translator responds.
I'm guessing i need to make the arbiter into a "master device" instead of
rumpdisk and then every device_open() call goes through the arbiter first?
