    Yes

    I want to make this useful for all of us. I'll make some minor changes so
    the simple fpga bus will not exit when it encounters an overlay that doesn't
    specify any bridges.

    Zynq doesn't have bridges to disable during reconfiguration? I guess
    that's handled automatically in hardware somehow?

    I need some way for simple FPGA bus to be able to configure bridges during
    the reconfiguration cycle. That will have to hook into the simple fpga bus,
    even if not everybody uses it. I'll submit minor changes that make it
    convenient to either have bridges if you need them or leave them out if
    you don't.
