NAK for the TURBOchannel bits (defxx.[ch] and declance.c) unless you give
a plausible justification. You won't get these drivers offered unless you
have the bus in your system anyway, and if you do than you don't want to
have them hidden somewhere in the corner. If you see anything wrong with
these drivers, then please do let me know.
Also defxx.c is PCI too (apart from being EISA and TC).
