Gee, I asked that a while back and no one bothered to care. :)
Suggestions several months ago included NOTES.acpi and possibly
NOTES.isa, NOTES.pci, etc. One thing that bde@ pointed out is
that if you use proper conditionals in sys/conf/files (for example,
ISA-only drivers should depend both on 'foo' and 'isa') then you
can leave drivers in the MI NOTES file and put just the busses
(isa, pci, eisa, etc.) in the MD NOTES file. I think what we can
do for PC98 is to spell isa 'cbus' just in the configuration files
(i.e. just sys/conf/files and sys/conf/files.pc98 as well as pc98
kernel config files) and then not have 'isa' in PC98 NOTES and all
should be well.
