After these changes, it's possible for digi to find it's BIOS/FEPOS
from one of the digi_* modules at boot time - as long as that
digi_* module is already available (either built into the kernel or
``loaded'' at boot time). However, digi fails to initialise the
card - I think due to tsleep failing... but I'm not sure yet.
