I do have a BIOS like loader for the EBSA285, but is in dire need of a
cleanup in certain areas (which I know I must get around to).

The PCI initialisation is hardware specific - there is no way to know
what an EBSA285 is plugged into, and therefore I'd prefer that on this
machine the kernel did NOT initialise the PCI bus. In fact, my current
thinking is to reduce some of the initialisation that the kernel does on
EBSA285.
