Controller channel device order swapped over in 2.6.9-1.3_FC2

First I'd like to thank Warren, Alan, Markus et al. for the work put into the 
I2O driver, it's been working flawlessly.

I'm not sure if this is I2O specific (block osm?), but after booting FC2 into 
the 2.6.9 kernel the order the channels on my 3200S are picked up appear to 
have become reversed:

/dev/i2o/hda -> /dev/i2o/hdd

/dev/i2o/hdb -> /dev/i2o/hda
/dev/i2o/hdc -> /dev/i2o/hdb
/dev/i2o/hdd -> /dev/i2o/hdc

Of course I've now sorted out my fstab (swap devices can't have filesystem 
labels, and I was relying on the device names since I had several drives from 
other installs with identical filesystem labels on), but I'm pretty certain 
the old behaviour was 'correct'.....

(yes, I know what the standard answer about relying on device numbers is :) )

I'll also have to pluck up the courage to try an FC3 install at some point.
