I think the plan is to delete all these drivers once the new ISDN layer
is a bit more battle-hardened.

The cpqphp driver is basically unmaintained.  Last time I spoke to Greg
about it (which was probably three years ago) he said it wasn't possible
to find a machine which had one of these any more.

I suspect the driver should simply be deleted, but if anyone steps up
and claims to have one of these to test the resulting patch, I'm willing
to remove pci_find_slot() from it.
