Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

71 | The MCA bus functions provide a generalised interface to find MCA | ||
72 | bus cards, to claim them for a driver, and to read and manipulate POS | ||
73 | registers without being aware of the motherboard internals or | ||
74 | certain deep magic specific to onboard devices. | ||
75 | </para> | ||
76 | <para> | ||
77 | The basic interface to the MCA bus devices is the slot. Each slot | ||
78 | is numbered and virtual slot numbers are assigned to the internal | ||
79 | devices. Using a pci_dev as other busses do does not really make | ||
80 | sense in the MCA context as the MCA bus resources require card | ||
81 | specific interpretation. | ||
82 | </para> | ||
83 | <para> | ||
84 | Finally the MCA bus functions provide a parallel set of DMA | ||
85 | functions mimicing the ISA bus DMA functions as closely as possible, | ||
86 | although also supporting the additional DMA functionality on the | ||
87 | MCA bus controllers. | ||
