I have other (but also crazy) plans, stay tuned. :)

Regarding the detection/match of the TC extension (or "Bus Adaptor" in
DEC speak), bit 31 "ADP" in the BWF0 register, present in both KA46
and KA49, is set when the adaptor is present ([1], chapter 7.5). So I
hope I can come up with a patch soon.
