I went with 'em' (embedded or ethernet-on-motherboard) in
biosdevname.  Git tree at:

http://linux.dell.com/cgi-bin/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=biosdevname.git;a=summary

Now I'm just trying to figure out why it seems pciutils libpci is
unhappy when the device tree is constantly changing underneath it,
such as when loading ixgbe max_vfs=63 - each new SR-IOV device created
launches a new udev instance as expected, but the device tree as seen
from any one of them may not be quite right as it's changing...

Thanks,
Matt
