Thanks.  That's a difference I wasn't aware of, and would (because I tend 
to favor amd) explain why I've never seen a change in enumeration order 
unless I've done something like unplug my sata cables for maintenance and 
forget which ones I had plugged in where -- random USB stuff left plugged 
in doesn't seem to matter, even choosing different boot media from the 
bios doesn't seem to matter by the time the kernel runs (I'm less sure 
about grub).
