Well, yes, but I'd rather find out if there is anyone who has a claim
for this.
However, I don't think this feature is going to make the boat for 3.71.
At this point I'll consider a fix for the PCI mess (as being a bug
fix), other than that I want to consider 3.71 frozen to new features
except perhaps if they're completely standalone (like the ifcpu64 module.)
