We (NetBSD) actually do have this facility since ~forever, it's in use  
on most powerpc ports, shark and so on. Otherwise we couldn't use  
things like Voodoo3, ct65550 on macppc or any shark onboard graphics  
chips in X.

Whatever you mean by that. If you mean support for more than one PCI  
host bridge with associated goo we have that as well.

If I post patches will they be ignored again?

have fun
