On my PreP machines (well PowerPlus since they are actually
Raven/Falcon or Hawk based), the residual data for interrupt
routing is correct, but some people insisted in writing code
without having read the spec, and refused mine which correctly
decoded this information :-(

Fixing things up to follow the spec, so long as there's not a good
reason to not follow the spec (e.g. more machines have out-of-spec data,
than do), maybe it'll get in now. :)

What would be useful for me would be having a copy of the  residual
data for a few Motorola machines...  (the residual data on my
powerstack works fine).

My approach for machines with duff residual data wasn't going to
be blacklisting, but working around problems with particular
machines.
