I had originally intended to pass this along via a flags directive in
the config file, but there doesn't seem to be any provision for this in
the PCI framework.

One could, but why?  Until I finish if_mec (delayed until I can make the
DMA buffers stop corrupting system memory), the PCI slot will contain a
NIC :)

I just can't see anyone plugging another ahc into the sole PCI slot when
there's a perfectly serviceable one on-board (modulo the whacked defaults
that the patch addresses).
