Without having had a real look at the code in detail yet, how did you design 
the PCI-ISA bridge (LPC device)? I'm asking mostly because Mac OS X 
unconditionally accesses that device's PCI config space to find the base 
address of the HPET.

If it's not modeled at all right now, that would certainly be nice to have 
before we make the machine the default. Until then I would mark it simply as 
experimental and declare it unstable wrt version coherence.
