I believe Mike mentioned this already, but you shouldn't be initializing 
your drivers here.  You'll notice that this area of code is much smaller 
than it used to be, and the only drivers left are Marvell ones.  I 
started cleaning them up, but the work was huge and lacking hardware I 
was nervous about breaking things.  IIRC, the MV6436X and MV6446X 
drivers duplicate code > 99%.
