Sorry I didn't spot this myself.  I tend to hand out numbers before the
spec is complete, to avoid this kind of problem.  But you should also
ask for a number for the same reason :)

rpmsg definitely got assigned 7 in my copy of the spec already, but I
was remiss in not publishing it earlier.  I have added scsi as 8, please
change.

Ohad, do you have an up-to-date lyx patch for me with the final spec?

Thanks,
Rusty.
