This can be disabled (to save a bit of space) with the NO_KERNEL_RCSIDS
options, which is present but commented out in the ALPHA config file.
In ELF-format kernels, these strings are present in the kernel binary but
are not loaded into memory. (In ECOFF-format kernels, there's no easy way
to keep them from being loaded, so they _are_ loaded into memory.)
even if PCI and the IDs are right), just for sanity, before declaring
success. Split the single 0x3b0 -> 0x3df allocation into three seperate
ones: 0x3b0 -> 0x3bc (leaving the 4 ports available for lpt),
0x3c0 -> 0x3cf, and 0x3d0 -> 0x3df. The former chunk has to be split
off if the lpt can exist there, and it's sort-of pretty to have each
group (based on second hex digit) have its own handle.
front-ends. Unfortunately, because of the way ISA and PCI are currently
probed, if you have a PCI VGA board in your machine and both drivers
in your kernel, the ISA VGA driver may accidentally match the PCI board.
For now, the only solution to this is to not put both drivers in
the GENERIC kernels.
