While I am glad to see this particular commit ...

... I have to say that I am depressed seeing the string "8259" in 2014.

That chip was a hack in its time, which was a long time ago.  (For those
kids in the audience: IIRC it was designed to be part of a chipset
supporting the Intel 8085 CPU).

The fact that designs still carry around little shards of this is ...
miserable.

Sigh.
