I'll make some minor changes so the simple fpga bus will not exit when it encounters an overlay that doesn't specify any bridges. Zynq doesn't have bridges to disable during reconfiguration?

I need some way for simple FPGA bus to be able to configure bridges during the reconfiguration cycle. That will have to hook into the simple fpga bus, even if not everybody uses it. I'll submit minor changes that make it convenient to either have bridges if you need them or leave them out if you don't.
