	Uh oh... I see some problems in the future here.

	The 2232 driver, which can't be publically released because it
	still uses the 6502 board code from AmigaUNIX, uses character
	device 17.
	
	I think we need to set up some sort of registery for
	Amiga devices even if they can't be included in the main tree
	for whatever reason.

	There are only 5 LKM slots for character devices. If EVERYBODY
	starts using LKM's we could start running out of slots. Also, at
	this point in the game it's a HELL of alot easier to do a compiled
	in device driver than an LKM.

	Also, has anybody actually been able to get an LKM driver to WORK
	on the Amiga kernel?
