This was the prime reason my last laptop needed PAO. It had a
6729, but didn't live in the usual 0x3e0 spot.

I would like to very carefully merge some of the pcic_p.c initialization
routines from PAO to -current. Or at least try.

I would not, however, like to be beaten to a bloody pulp for doing so. :-)
