How so?  We could have two systems that are of the same architecture, on one
of which a given chip MUST be initialized after the EEPROM, on another of
which it doesn't matter.  The question of whether there's a higher-level
dependency is, it seems to me, specific to a given CONFIGURATION.  Which is
what config files are supposed to represent, no?
