:(

By doing this, you have fixed it to people can't use the NDISulator
code on 5.2-RELEASE or 5.2.1-RELEASE. I think it is hardly worth it
to break source code compatibility in this case just to avoid having
to type a few extra arguments. At the very least, bus_alloc_resource_any()
could have been implemented as a macro: then I could just test for its
existence and #define it myself so the code would run on older systems.
I'm very susprised that bde never raised this point.

I have no choice now but to revert if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c
back to the old API to un-break it for 5.2-REL and 5.2.1-REL users.
Thanks a whole lot, people.
