I've done so on a few machines because I wanted to lock down my SCSI
drives and I've got multiple controllers and multiple PCI buses and I
didn't want things moving around if anyone moved a controller between
slots.  It seems to work fine (I've moved one controller between buses
to test if there were any performance implications).  I would do the
same for my ethernets if they were all the same type of interface too.
