If you rommify Linux into the EBSA285, how do you cater for the case where
Linux starts up on the EBSA285 before the PC BIOS has setup the PCI cards?
Or, if you're running a PNP OS, chances are (because it's from Redmond) that
it'll have it's own ideas about how to change the PCI bus mappings a long
time after boot. Again, how do you intend to handle this?
