CVisionPPC driver



Hi,

Finally, after couple of sleepless nights I can see the CVisionPPC
console on my screen (NetBSD-Amiga, of course).  It lack of many
features, but at least I don't have to switch the monitor plug! :)

The following problems shows up when the driver is configured:

- I have to add 8MB + 0x10000 bytes to kernel memory map

- If the graphics card is configured, CyberStromPPC (MK III) SCSI is NOT,
  that is because they share the same vendor/product ID.  I don't know
  how to handle this. :(  .... yet!

- The driver configured memory to the USA ones, so it might not work with
  Fujitsu models.  Yet, I don't know how to detect this either.

- Finally, I don't know how to detect the graphics card itself.
  Please use the driver once you make sure you have the CVision card
  plugged in.

- It should work with BVisionPPC.  As fas as I know it's the same chip
  and the same memory address space.  All you have to do is change
  product ID (110 IIRC).

If anybody wants to test it, I can send the diffs.
Testers are welcome! :)

        kind regards

                - Adam
