I filled in the values...  0,0,0 might have worked I haven't
tried that combination.

The i860.  But the ich2 is pretty much the same as the piixe from
the driver side.  All I did was set 2 enable bits.  The code
should be in the tree under soutbridge/intel/82801.

Hmm.  I netboot and rebuild my images all of the time...

But seriously I think putting in the command line patch is a good
idea if we twist it a little bit.  In particular could we introduce
the infrastructure for a basic ELF formatted bootloader? 

At a slightly later date we can figure out how to compile in all of
the fill_inbuf routines, at once.
