I dont recall those devices as being particularly important.  The big issues are
allowing multiple SBus and PCI controllers (I think the SBus driver originally
used a single static data structure for something, and the psycho driver needs
to be able to handle more than 2 PCI buses that are not associated with the same
controller...) and adding UPAIDs to interrupt vectors so they are dispatched to 
the correct CPU and are correlated with the correct SBus/PCI bus.
