Nope, it's not. It comes up automatically. Which may or may not be ideal,
but it's how they set it up.
Leaving me with the PCI mapping and interrupt fixup to figure out, and
possibly after that problems with the sis driver, a missing PHY driver (ukphy
seems to work), and a missing NAND flash driver.
I'm gonna see whether my "customer" (loosely speaking) is interested in
encouraging the creation of a NAND flash driver.
