This is different. I think we may have three levels, if not four of code, but I don't want to instantiate that in the source-tree until it makes sense to do so. 1. Arch and bus independent: vn and pty for instance. 2. Arch dependent: eeprom 3. Bus dependent: pci stuff 4. Bus & Arch dependent: anything in isa relying on a BIOS for instance. I don't think we have any reason to move anything from the busses out yet, until we know whatit takes, ie have another port, we don't know that we can do it right. vn pty and snoop are different, they don't depend on anything... -- Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@login.dknet.dk> TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
