Of course, the goal is merging the core part of the driver and
splitting bus/arch specific part. My rough plan is:
- New-bus'ize the ed driver for pc98.
- Split sys/dev/ed stuff and pc98/pc98/if_ed* into the 8390 generic
part and MD parts.
- Merge.
However, the work is not so easy. I think bus-space'ize in sys/dev/ed
is needed to do so. We have already had skeleton of the bus-space
stuff but more work is required to make it work in pc98 kernel. Also,
I don't want to see so many `#ifdef PC98' under sys/dev directory that
seems to be MI part.
