Yeah, I think the 'completely specify your machine from pieces' usecase is one we have in mind; it's just you can't do it today (due to the irq/mmio issues). Also as I said it's not clear that the UI/interface for that should be the same as the one for allowing the user to plug in PCI cards or disks to a model somebody else has constructed for them. -- PMM
