Well.. AFAIK _is_ the 7990 the original LANCE, so there should be little
problems there.

The 53c94 is (not sure about this one) also used in SPARCs and is called
ESP there. That may be a good starting point. Especially the sun4c
code (SS1, SS2, etc), because those boxes are relatively simple 
and don't use separate IOMMU's and stuff..
