See my other mail (of 1m ago), there isn't a configuration mechanism nor a way
to select devices at run-time (nor buses to attach them to, etc.). This patch
is a bit of a hack, though there's no other way without the extra
infrastructure. This patch will get a 2nd platform going, and can be revisited
when another rears its head.
