I'm not sure this interface is going to to fit PCI that well. But IMHO
no reason to delay the whole series -- we can think about zPCI later.
Same goes for some of the names.

Another idea for later would be to sanity check in gisa destroy that
alert.mask is back to all zero -- to catch any corresponding driver
bugs.

I don't think this is necessary. Otherwise you would need to
zero the alert.ref[] too, or?
