PCI/Sparc: Device number limitation?

If I install 2 PCI-GPIB cards into my Sparc station, will I be limited to
a total of 44 devices, ie 22 on each bus? The driver installation only
created 44 entries in /dev/..., how can I create more?

The system we want to replace currently has more than 22 on each
bus via bus extenders and expanders, so this would be a serious
limitation.

ibdev(3) does not explain what a "user configurable-device" is...

Any help would be appreciated.
