I don't want to change how a PCI device is mapped. I want to have a way to say "if device someX appears, do something nonstandard during attach". As far as I can see now these are used by "hints mechanism" in FreeBSD. That's exactly I'm looking for, but there is no way to do it in DragonFly? AFAICS there were a least some references to device.hints file, but these were removed. -- Hasso Tepper
