Well... the first port that doesn't mention an IRQ.
I discussed this with Bruce last month; The following patch seemed
to work-around, even though it's a stupid hack which shouldn't be
committed.
The problem is that the BUS_SETUP_INTR() method for ISA seems to
absolutely require the specification of an IRQ, even though IRQ
specification is absolutely prohibited for non-master ports in
AST-compatible multi-port sio cards. Gah.
I'm not completely sure that this patch does the right thing (in
terms of allowing the slave serial ports to work correctly) anyway:
I haven't stress-tested it, I was more interested in getting the
machine involved to be able to boot. More investigation is required.
