<p><itemize>
<item>Complete the eisaconf conversion of all existing drivers.
<item>Change all interrupt routines to take a (void *) instead of
using unit numbers.
<item>Merge EISA/PCI/ISA interrupt registration code.
<item>Split PCI/EISA/ISA probes out from drivers like bt742a.c (WIP)
<item>Fix the syscons ALT-TAB/vt switching hangs. Coordinator: <tt><htmlurl
