Except that this is not an easy task, since the translator is starting
and doesn't process messages yet. A hackish way would be to have
pci-arbiter define a variable that the hurd driver of libpciaccess
would weak-reference (e.g. checking for strcmp(netfs_server_name,
"pci-arbiter") ), to determine whether the process using libpciaccess is
a pci arbiter (and should thus try x86) or not.
