We already have this difference for minor PCI attributes http://www.open-mpi.org/projects/hwloc/doc/v1.9.1/a00028.php#faq_privileged As long as it doesn't impact major features, that's fine for me. > >> 7.

So it's possible for vendors to contribute, but that means a lot of different cases. I don't expect the list ot be huge and to cover a non-negligible part of the PCI devices. We'll see. Brice
