*shrug* I'd say we can try and find out when we hit something we really care 
about. In this case I doubt we do.

Right. Though I'm not sure how pci hotplug slots would look like in that model. 
I don't think we have PCIDevice structs there yet, but we would still need to 
keep interrupt maps ready.

Yikes. It's way past midnight after all :).

You mean I messed up and pasted more than I wanted or that I should split the 
patch? :)

I totally agree with you. I'm just saying that in this particular case the 
logic is easy enough that I don't necessarily see a big chance for a pitfall. 
But I'm not objecting to moving the logic to a single place - it certainly 
makes the relationship situation clearer.

Piping through cat gets me that I don't get the patch in less, so I can easily 
copy&paste it from my terminal into the email client even though it's bigger 
than my terminal window. Also not using less means that formatting stays 
consistent.
