interrupt to be used for a device. This is intended solely for internal
use of PCI bus implementations, and exists so that PCI bus drivers
implementing special interrupt assignment methods which require
additional work at the bus level to work right can be easily derived
from the generic driver (or any other one) without resorting to hacks.
It will be used in the sparc64 ofw_pcibus driver, which will be
committed shortly.
Make use of this method in the generic implementation, and add it to
the method table of bus drivers derived from the PCI one.

* Re-implement the method dispatch to improve efficiency. The new system
takes about 40ns for a method dispatch on a 300Mhz PII which is only
10ns slower than a direct function call on the same hardware.
This changes the new-bus ABI slightly so make sure you re-compile any
driver modules which you use.
i386 platform boots, it is no longer ISA-centric, and is fully dynamic.
Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition. eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager. Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.
(Some other changes appear to have snuck in, including a port of Soren's
ATA driver to the Alpha. Soren, back this out if you need to.)
This is a checkpoint of work-in-progress, but is quite functional.
The bulk of the work was done over the last few years by Doug Rabson and
Garrett Wollman.
