Yuck. I really don't like this -- why should the board model have to care about implementation internals of lsi53c895a? It's just plugging in a PCI card. And why only this device and not every storage device in every board? Nothing should actually start happening until the whole machine model is completely set up and we've returned control to vl.c (and probably not until we've done our first system reset). Any device which is doing stuff early is broken and needs fixing. -- PMM
