I think the options should be defined in both. Our hope is that all=20
options will be in options(4), while you're right that pci(4) is a very=20
natural place for this information.

As a solution, how about mentioning them with about a paragraph-long=20
description in options(4), and having a full (whatever that is)=20
description in pci(4). Oh, and of course, options(4) would cite pci(4).

Take care,

Bill
