I just wanted to point out that it is also broken on a Compaq server I
have here, which has an EISA bus.  It worked OK (I think, I don't
actually USE it, but it probed OK) using 3.1-RELEASE.

eisa0: <CPQ701 (System Board)>
eisa0:8 <CPQ4410=0xe114410> unknown device
lnc0 at 0x8800-0x8817 irq 14 drq 0 on eisa slot 8
lnc0: Memory allocated above 16Mb limit
