   Seems like maybe PCI was removed so that it was possible to configure
a generic kernel to boot on the simulator...  I could imagine not having
PCI might have some degree of usefulness when using a ramdisk.  Isn't
this what the defconfigs are for?

Hi Alex,

That could explain it, but the question is whether one would want to
boot a generic kernel when running on a simulator. After all then every
cycle does count ;)

Anyway I think we're down nit picking in details. My vote is for
preserving status quo.

Cheers,
Jes
