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!

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