I'll see what I can do.

I know this is going to create conflicts in a few places, including sparc-next-2.6
where I already made this fix while cleaning up all of the SBUS device drivers.

So I guess I'm saying that I'm being lazy. :)

I'll try to look into this next week as I'm going to be busy and also away for
a few days.
