Well, obviously unless there was a sudden change in our stance regarding
sysfs we will not head that way.

This thread got no replies from the pci community, and I'm unfamiliar
with such a tool.

Dave, What's your stance in the matter - do you wish us to continue pursuing
some pci tool (which might or might not exist), or instead work on
a networking solution to this issue?

Do you happen to know such a tool?

Thanks,
Yuval
