on the 8 port card Simon Gerraty has. In general, cards which have
this lots of ports also have a separate interrupt status register, but
this change is just to talk to the various ports independently. It works,
but it's not optimal. (XXX still need a good name for the card in the
comments, and to update the manual page.)
which contain 'standard' com- and lpt-type ports. Some of these present
as PCI simple-communications/serial or simple-communications/parallel
devices, but many do not. (Additionally, there is no document that I can
find that describes the "specific well-konwn register-level" description
of how the 'standard' devices' config space headers shold work.) Eventually,
some of the devices driven by this code should become simple pci attachments
for the 'lpt' and 'com' drivers, but that requires solid documentation.
