	[ I'll have to think hard about hacking mmu.c :) .. You're probably
	[ right about it being good to force the cards to some base address
	[ rather than accepting what PCI autoconf gave us.

i know this doesn't do you any good (i wish it did) but 10 minutes ago
i finished hacking the mmu code to let us map the pci devices where the
bios leaves them. you're pretty much forced to do that if you have pci
bridges. the old code just started allocating unbacked memory after the
end of physical memory for framebuffers and that works ok and is fairly
easy to do.

the brazil code also has to deal with synchronising the changes to the
kernel mappings for multiple processors and it still doesn't use interprocessor
interrupts.
