Mike,
thanks for touching up the notes...apologies to Thomas for mangling
his name. My error.

I think it's working now. It still needs more work but folks could
start using it at least. I expect the code to work on j5k but
don't know if either processor has "0xfffa0000" HPA. If one does,
it should work too. All I/O interrupts will be directed to that
processor for now.

Feel free to remove the:
	do_irq_mask 00200000 c02d1324 c01f6500
	iosapic_interrupt: irq 266 line 1 eoi fed32840

messages if they get in your way.

I tested using eepro100.c driver (CONFIG_EEXPRESS_PRO100=y)
and added "#define USE_IO" near the top. I can't say the interface
is totally functional (I haven't the setup to test ping) but the hub
seems happy.

I'm going to look at this next before working more on iosapic.c.
Thomas is going to send me console output and I'll see what I
can make out of that.

More important than any of these, IMHO, is FDB. And I forgot to
mention it at the meeting. Future progress would be substantialy
faster if we had a debugger. I don't feel competent to work on
that. Anyone interested in (or already) pursuing this?

thanks,
grant
