At some point I intend to merge macmace.c into mace.c by using the macio
bus code on m68k macs. This would avoid the need for these checks, but
it's not something I have working yet. My first driver to merge with ppc
would be serial since we don't need any DMA support for that. It's on my
list of things to do once I get macio working on m68k. I'll be sure to
send a patch to the m68k list as soon as I have something that runs.
After that I'll copy it to the ppc list to make sure I didn't break that,
and submit it for inclusion once people are satisfied.
