I forgot to say...

this should (now I fixed a typo in the machine name) also solve the LE
byte-swapping problem on Pismo (by soft-swapping).

It is still not obvious why the Pismo does not swap in H/ware (it has the
smae AWACS chip id as the Lombard).

if you downloaded the modules or the diff before 00:00 GMT 19/01/2001 you
need to fetch it again.

cioa,
Iain.

Can't apps cope with it if it doesn't do the byte-swapping in H/W?  If it
can, I think the code should be removed.  No software translation in kernel
if we can avoid it at all.
