Re: Incomplete (potentially broken) Raven Chipset support for PREP machines.

At least this would remove the hugly code for PCI interrupt mapping
and enable to support correctly multi-function devices...

Note : I'm asking theses questions because I will work on this code.
The better I understand it, the sooner I may send patches. I have
10 years of OS programming behind me (Chorus) but I'm totally new to
PPC (1 month or so) so please be patient...

OpenPic support for Raven, and in turn, SMP for the MTX boards, is on my
list of things to work on in the next month or so.

I started working on an 'architecture' for detecting various things like
this and setting appropriate function pointers at boot time. I got as far
as redoing the RTC reading/setting code. (since the setting the clock
didn't work on my MTX)

Please let me know if you get any patches made.
