Last time I checked, I had ugly Oopses on one of my alpha boxes
(AS-255), but that whas a few month ago, and I had other stuff to fix
at the moment. I'll give it a go tomorrow.

I'm afraid this would introduce a lot of the ugly crap that is
currently in de4x5 (21040 is seen through an EISA to PCI bridge, with
a sparse mapping)... I'll have a look at what we can do without
introduce too many hacks.
If de2104x behaves correctly, another solution would be to turn de4x5
to be EISA only. That would be a good way to finally kill it ;-).
Thanks,
M.
