[PATCH: NEW ARCHITECTURE FOR 2.5.6] support for NCR voyager

[James Bottomley]

The major change since the last voyager patch is that the voyager code is 
split out into an arch/i386/voyager directory which hooks into the main line 
code rather than being mixed with it.

The patch is in two parts this time:  The i386 sub-architecture split is 
separated from the addition of the voyager components

(The split diff is pretty huge because it's actually moving files about).  You 
must apply the split diff before applying the voyager one.

 Hi James,
  I just took a quick look at your work on splitting this stuff up, and I
  think it's definitly heading in the right direction. As to integrating this,
  I think it's probably best to get Patrick Mochel's other related work
  included first. See what he's done so far at..
   http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mochel/patches/patch-linux-v2.5.6-pm1.bz2
  His patch and yours touch various files for more or less the same reason.

  Patrick still has some bits to finish off here, but combined the two patchsets
  will bring some much needed sanity to various parts of arch/i386/

I just finished the combination of the two:

http://www.hansenpartnership.com/voyager/files/split-combine-2.5.6.diff
http://www.hansenpartnership.com/voyager/files/split-combine-2.5.6.BK

Also added the voyager patches

http://www.hansenpartnership.com/voyager/files/voyager-split-combine-2.5.6.BK

I've checked that the voyager additions will combine and boot.  There seems to 
be some problem with missing pci functions which prevent a standard SMP 
compile.  I think it has to do with a missing entry in the Makefile in 
drivers/pci for hotplug.c.  I think Patrick probably needs to look at this.
