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.)
figure out the correct IRQ for the ethernet on the AlphaStation 500.
That code is enabled via KN20AA_BOGUS_IRQ_FROB (but hopefully won't be
needed any time soon, and won't link w/o slight changes to other code).
Basically, when establishing an interrupt that we don't know what to
do with, prompt the user for what interrupt line to enable. If you
get stray interrupts when you try to use the device (but not before),
then you've got the right line.
found on the AlphaStation 600), and interrupts on interrupt line 13.
Thanks to Andrew Gallatin for booting a test kernel 32 times (trying
each interrupt line, looking for the right one) to find this.
mapping code. (instead of using a "slot" and multiplying by 4 and adding the
pin number later to get the IRQ, just use base IRQ value and add the pin
number.)

new boot block structure, which requires an 'installboot'
program and works a lot like the NetBSD/sparc boot blocks.
