(I forget which alpha I had. For some reason I want to think I had an
EISA machine and probably Jensen. Maybe upgraded to a 164 later?)
Well, as this was way back in 1995, it was perhaps a Multia? Also
named UDB, a small "booksize" model.
No, that came later. I had one of the very original ones.

I'm pretty sure it was that Jensen platform, but I'm too lazy to go
back and look.

Can you send me your Jensen config?
Sure, attached here. I don't know if it helps - I can't tell you why I
used 4.18-rc5 for it, that was in 2018... Oh man, I am spending too much
time at work...
I ended up hacking something up which was enough to show the build
problems, and then some.

But your config shows _other_ errors with the IO functions, so I guess
I'll need to look at that one too.

There's clearly a reason that Jensen was marked BROKEN in the Kconfig,
the whole situation with the IO accessor functions on that platform is
a disaster.
