   Hi,

Is this really needed?

IIRC there are (used to be?) multiport nic pci cards which are simply 
multiple ethernet card pci chips behind a pci-to-pci bridge.  Such a 
pci-to-pci bridge should be able to operate without bios support, no?

So one cold just do ...

   -device pci-bridge,id=br
   -device e1000,bus=br.0
   -device e1000,bus=br.0

to create a bridge with two nics behind it?

cheers,
   Gerd
