Hmmm... what guarantee is there that PCI device ordering is stable?
MAC addresses have the advantage of not being subject to change because
you flashed the system BIOS and things are enumerated in a different
order, or you decided to add a multifunction card that adds its own
brand-new set of PCI busses, and your dodgy BIOS decides to renumber
everything.
