The current driver does support multiple cards. The 8-axis config should not
be that much work to support with the current driver. Depending on the
register map differences, it may be as simple as changing some defines that
determine the number of PWM and encoder channels.

There are (existing style) configurations up to 8 Axis that _should_ be easy
for the current driver to support with some tweaks (PeterV?)
12 axis servo control will easily fit on one 5I20 card
