Yeah, I think the 'completely specify your machine from pieces'
usecase is one we have in mind; it's just you can't do it today
(due to the irq/mmio issues). Also as I said it's not clear that
the UI/interface for that should be the same as the one for allowing
the user to plug in PCI cards or disks to a model somebody else
has constructed for them.
