Which is fine - unless you happen to have two identical devices, as I do: for
which one is that? For PCI devices, at least, this is solvable by using the
PHYS identifier (but that requires wildcarding: I've seen the last part of
the PCI address - device function number? - change across boots with older
Nova-Ts).

Anyway, this is moot: the patch is applied upstream and is present in 0.8.1
and 0.8.2.

Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
