I don't necessarily regard this as an error: single attachment of ULDs
would be very helpful. However, since the mechanics of implementing
single attachment are difficult (sg has to be the default attachment of
every unclaimed devices, so you need to sort out issues when an ULD is
probed *after* sg is attached etc.), I'm very happy for Fedora to
demonstrate the feasibility of its implementation before a patch is
proposed to mainline.
