We'd have to allocate it a PCI device ID, but I guess that's OK as there are plenty of IDs left for 1b36. I'm not sure it's worth it though. Phil asked that this device by user creatable, but maybe that's not necessary. Maybe we just need a mach-virt compat boolean and then to always provide this device for 4.0 and later machines?
