whoops just spotted this.. I had allocated next month for working
on this, i.e. getting VME support into the kernel.

I work at CERN where we have hundreds of VME crates; we're
currently moving from LynxOS to real-time linux. The VME chipset
we're using is the tsi148, for which Sebastien Dugue wrote a
driver at the beginning of the year.

I'll reply to each of the relevant patches to comment on them.
Regards,
E.
