My point was that it would be nicer to have an io/pci cdl option setting
the default. With platform cdl or configtool user overriding it. That
way, you only need a cdl change at most for other platforms that may
have a large number of busses.
Then again, I don't feel strongly enough to actually implement that at
the moment. (I should have have thought of this when I added bridge
support way back when ;-)
