the kernel to panic since it is recognised as a TGA and the TGA driver
doesn't [yet] know what to do with it.
This patch fixes that by:
o making tgamatch() try to actually figure out what kind
of TGA card is there, rather than simply relying on the
vendor/product ids.
o creating a tga_cnmatch() so that the console code in
arch/alpha/pci/pci_machdep.c can cause the same to occur.
o breaking up some of tga_getdevconfig() into a few different
functions to re-use code that would have been duplicated.
o changed arch/alpha/pci/pci_machdep.c so that it calls out
to tga_cnmatch() if DEVICE_IS_TGA() matches before it decides
to attach the console as a TGA.

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.)
Support for AXPpci CPUs,
Support for AlphaStation 600 CPUs,
new boot block structure, which requires an 'installboot'
program and works a lot like the NetBSD/sparc boot blocks.
