I kinda do this on macppc - CUDA can have an i2c-bus which doesn't show
up in OF and which in some cases ( beige G3 for example ) has useful
devices on it. For those we can infer their presence from other data in
the OF tree, so the cuda driver just generates appropriate entries for
direct config.
have fun
