Hello!

[Not sure, where this belongs, so to -committers + -doc]

Since NOTES is more docu already, I'd like to reorganize its
structure.

Currently, many drivers support more than one bus of ISA, EISA, MCA,
PCI.

At the moment, we have, for example, some SCSI devices listed more
than once, iirc, some up to three times (ISA/EISA, MCA, PCI).

Since now the "device" line is common for all of them and they only
differ for the hints stuff, I did the following:

First, list Busses: (E)ISA, MCA, PCI and explain, that only (E)ISA
needs the hints stuff.

Move NIC/SCSI stuff, which were the only split sections, behind these
stuff. Describe all drivers only one time and list all supported
chips.

List all device (+ hints for (E)ISA, if possible).

I've also added few additional supported chips to some drivers, xl for
example and some SCSI drivers.

The patches are at
