I did not want to touch non-LongTrail code.

How is the interrupt routing done on the BriQ? On the LongTrail both legacy
mode (ISA IRQ 14/15) and PCI native mode (PCI IRQ connected to OpenPIC) are
possible for IDE.

Yes, I checked it during the weekend. Crash in IDE access operations.
I wrote down the addresses and the corresponding routine names. If you want
them, I can mail them (when I get back to the piece of paper).

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
