Yes, though it's mostly just used to special case AC97 and for display
purposes so you may find that your use case already works if you fill in
something non-AC97.  I've not looked closely or made any effort to test
this, though.

I don't know if anyone has ever actually done that but there should be
nothing in the core which has a problem with doing it - if there is we
should fix it up since this is a perfectly reasonable use case and
affects a number of other modern processors too.
