Let's keep this discussion within limits of the current implementation.
Existing method of forming CT may be replaced when that change is
justified by use.
Any method that may be implemented later is good if it ensures unique
identification of RIO devices. At this moment, we just need to define CT
format now to avoid future conflicts of enumeration methods.

Your improvement will require assigning separate destID to any switch
that has no endpoints attached. I prefer to keep changes to enumeration
for later patches.
