The way this needs to be done is by writing drivers which can accept the specific resources and attach them to the existing bits of kernel code they represent. Much of this work has been done for optional drivers, but standard drivers for the most part blindly assume the hardware is there and in the standard place (for good reason, mind you). -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
