My inclination is to get rid of those completely, actually.

Well, if you *did* specify it, it would be `8,2'.  Howveer...

...the size is not intended to be specified in the config file for
most devices; it's only exported so that it can be used with weird
things like some multiport boards where you *can't* know whether they
have 4 or 8 ports and have to intuit it from the `size.  In general,
it's just overridden by the driver anyway.

The `0x666 crock' was only there so that if no value was specified or
put in by the driver it did something purposefully wacky to generate
bug reports, but still worked.  (The only real use of ia_iosize
outside of drivers is to print out the info, so I didn't consider it
particularly critical that it be correct.)  Anyway, that's mostly
historical at this point.
