It may as well be there, but it should be disabled by default, at least
for the version on the install disk.  _All_ devices that aren't used
for booting or for talking to the user should be disabled in the version
on the install disk.  The `enable' and `disable' keywords don't work in
config yet.

Extra sio entries may be necessary even when the devices for them can't
be used due to interrupt conflicts.  Ports with conflicting interrupts
need to be initialized just so that they can be disabled.  This is
currently handled by the driver knowing too much about the 4 standard
port addresses.
