Some AzusA kernel notes:
- You must have SAL v1.23.  Though I've a patch for 2.4.10's setup.c that
   lets earlier SAL versions work.
- The kernel page size needs to be 16KB.
- The interrupt tables can overwhelm the kernel, but this only happens
   in 2.4.[7-9].  Earlier and later versions are fine.  I've patches
   for the affected versions nonetheless.
- You'll get TickOOPS messages during bootup, but they're harmless.
- NEC hardware engineering says to disable USB in the kernel.


Oh, and we've a 16-way AzusA here at the OSDL available for scalability-
related projects.  It's currently running Linux 2.4.16-ia64 with Red Hat
7.1.  IIRC we've also got SuSE and TurboLinux on it, but Mandrake and
Debian's installers gave me fits. (boo!)
