I object.  The driver must not make assumptions about things it
doesn't know from a certain source.  When I restructured the code
in 5.x, I explicitly intented to get rid of the old hacks.

I wouldn't object if /boot/device.hints on the alpha arch shipped with
a default of hint.fd.0.flags="4" though, which basically has the same
effect, but should at least give the careful reader a hint to read the
man page...
