Indeed.

Currently, the EISA uses a 'virtual' root, instead of hanging off it's
real parent device (Wax for HPPA, 82375EB for most PCI based
Intel/Alpha systems). In fact, we should never have a virtual root for
EISA, except when this is the *only* bus (I just got my hands on such
a beast, an Alpha Jensen...).

I've started poking at the PCI side of the problem, and ran into
ordering problems (EISA was initialized before PCI, bad...).

I'll look at it during the week-end...
