Hello All,

I promised jejb a long time ago to get rid of the CONFIG_PDC_NARROW
config option and replace it with a run-time check.  This will allow
64-bit kernels to run on any 64-bit capable system and does not need to
be compiled special to run with narrow firmware.  I finally finished
this task and have committed it to CVS head.

I have attached the patch for review and I am posting to both lists
since some users might use the option and wonder about it when this
option is no longer present.

I have tested this patch on C200 (narrow firmware), K460 (wide
firmware), and A500 (wide firmware).

Thanks,

- Ryan
