As part of my work on the EISA bus code I intend to look at the Alpha
stuff in more detail at some point in the future.

As I don't have an Alpha with EISA slots I can't say when in the future
that will be.  NetBSD does have support and I'm fairly sure that we don't
need the resource configuration code they use so it may be a simple matter
of looking at their code and writing the correct platform bits for the
2100.
