Not really apart from that the kernel should be fixed so it doesn't
export ports that are not there :-) - potentially we need to check if
there is a real port much like we check if there is a real floppy drive
in the end of /dev/fd0. I'd say go ahead and commit the stuff for now.

Thanks both.

Cheers,
David
