Using 'any' works (for some values of works) in 3.0.

This is an example of an unacceptable solution rerettably typical to 
the PAO project - you folks are *too*narrowly*focussed* on your needs.

If you want to bring PAO up to date, you should be looking at the 
generic resource manager in sys/kern/subr_rman.c and the way that it 
is integrated within the new bus architecture.

If Garrett hasn't already contacted the entire PAO group, consider this 
a formal request; if you're a PAO developer at all, and you're 
intetested in helping merge your development efforts with -current, 
talk to Garrett (wollman@freebsd.org) about subscribing to the new-bus 
mailing list.

This is something that we should be doing indeed.
