This patch adds support for GXT4000P and GXT6500P cards found on some
IBM pSeries machines.
GXT4000P/6000P and GXT4500P/6500P  couples are  identical from
software's point of view and are based on the same  Raster Engine
(RC1000), except for a different reference clock for the PLL.
GXT6x00P models are equipped with an additional Geometry Engine
(GT1000) but this driver doesn't use it.


I see that even after 2 years, this patch still hasn't been added to
the official Linux kernel.
You will appreciate how little code this took to save everybody with a
GXT6500P card some trouble.

cheers,
Nello
