3c597 isn't going to work until someone (probably me...) gets EISA DMA
working.  That depends on getting consensus for how to implement the pci_*
host DMA mapping support (which I think we have now).  Implementing it
is going to depend on some changes such as the iotree.  rbrad & I have
been working on that, and I think we're close to getting finished.
