It's a single .c, so could go into utilities if it doesn't get packaged.

t PCI hardware detection is that there is no probing,

the gist is, atleast include PCI detection, which maps PCI device ID's to

There is no overhead in this, since it is just a matter of PCI ID's
and module mappings. The PCI_ID->module mapping is already done for all
modules. Not using it, doesn't save anythi

hardware (all kinds, if possible) is part of the install process after
all.

I'm fairly certain this is not a sparc issue, or atleast that it has
nothing to do with anything I changed. For the latest set, I just used a
