I figured someone might have some magic for hacking
arch/mips/Makefile ifdef CONFIG_NEC_KORVA (or any BSP/LSP).
I guess I'll have to make the effort. :-)

I talked Jun into checking in the Markham patches... but will
have to add a comment to the pci_xxx files that one has to get
a separate patch for net/core/skbuff.c if using PCI with a generic
driver.

The idea was not to mess with any PCI drivers. 2.5 is not an option for me.
Thanks, Pete.
