Yes, that is what Igor himself also says. The problem for now is that
there exist no such class in the firmware so that it is not
possible to do that. We have to wait for Igor or maybe somone is able to
fiddle around with the firm. I'm definitly not.

But anyway, i think its worth to think about such solutions in times
where MoBo's will loose their legacy ports.
