Hence my mail to arch@ about possibly having things like NOTES.acpi,
NOTES.atkbdc, etc. (same for files.foo and options.foo) that the MD ones
can include.  For some things like PCI drivers, they can be in the MI
notes so long as they work on all archs that support PCI.  Perhaps to
make the atkbdc case easier we should say that that driver depends on
isa (if it doesn't already).
