I guess; I'd hate to have to modify the kernel like that though. Plus, as far as I'm aware at the moment the only way to tell these blades apart is through querying IPMI which would be a serious bummer to try to do via the kernel, I believe. Maybe there's some other way to do it that's simpler. Still hoping someone will say "all you have to do is XYZZY..."
