This isn't correct. We want to get rid of some of the current contents
of pci-y when NUMAQ or VISWS are enabled. I'm not quite sure what the
right fix is here. Maybe something like ...

--- arch/i386/pci/Makefile 14 Sep 2005 12:54:20 -0000 1.3
+++ arch/i386/pci/Makefile 12 Oct 2005 17:51:19 -0000

obj-y += $(pci-y) common.o
This mess really needs some more eyes on it. For example, should fixups.o
really be enabled on visws but disabled on numaq? I suspect both want
legacy.o disabled. Does it make sense to enable ACPI on a NUMAQ system?
I don't know enough about them.

And it /really/ needs some commentary. Here's my first cut at it, based
on my memories of editing it several years ago:

# A little more complex than most Makefiles.
# Neither the VISWS nor the NUMAQ configs want to see legacy.o compiled in.
# VISWS doesn't have ACPI to worry about, but NUMAQ might
# Order is important -- don't rearrange the order of files here.

Help most gratefully received from people who really understand these boxes!
