I don't understand how that pertains to this thread...
Potential conflict: multiple logical devices competing for the same
SoC resource. Converse: similar logical devices supported by
different resources. Both cases have been mentioned in this thread,
with confusion about how to deal with them.
Does Arabella solve it as claimed? I don't know. But dynamic
allocation doesn't sound crazy. Maybe some of the code or design can
even be copied.
And why did you post it only to me?
Oops. Correcting now.

Do you have a pointer to their code anywhere?

I checked [http://www.arabellasw.com/products-free.php], and the
downloadable source is now gone. :-(
