If that's really what's happening, then that is _definitely_ the wrong
order, IMHO. First, externals are a lot more likely to change. Second,
that's bound to confuse people, since both MkLinux and LinuxPPC probe
internal first. ;-) Last, that's backwards by bus number, too (bus 1
followed by bus 0?).
Just my $0.02
