I think this is an orthogonal problem. New drivers still want to use old
servers, so that's the reason of that mess on driver side [0]. For now, I just
want to make the server be not-PCIism anymore, so if one would want it, then
would be optional.


Anyway, thanks for point this out Gaetan!

[0] glue drivers within the server would solve it.
