Bravo! a capital plan! (Does anybody remember _Utopia Limited_ these days?) I will be just as pleased as the next man to see these little flags go away -- or rather, not arrive in the first place. And as Andries says, there's no real point in trying to determine the cache type for a hot-pluggable device in the first place.
