Watch out for "old" built-in dino versions on older B-XXX/C-XXX models.
Boot output should print the version and possibly a warning.

Maybe Endianess (ordering of multi-byte integers/addresses).
Depends on how the driver needs to communicate with the card.
Other issues might also come up. At least two talks at OLS2002

(Ignore that fact it's for ia64; same things apply to parisc)
