Got 1.3.45 to compile for Jensen

After some consideraton (and a little research) I commented out the
function isa_device_interrupt() from arch/alpha/kernel/irq.c if
CONFIG_ALPHA_JENSEN is defined. I also had to comment out the cabriolet and
eb64(?? -- I'd have to check) handlers, as they should never be called on a
Jensen, and they call isa_device_interrupt.
So far, it doesn't look like I broke anything. I used this new kernel
to boot my Jensen so that I could install BLADE_0.3 and it has not dragged
itself to the edge of my desk and leaped into File 13 just yet.
Finally! My poor alpha has been liberated from the hands of WinNT!
On another note: Would I be correct in assuming that the grunt work in getting
MILO to work on the Jensen rests in writing the PALcode for it? Would only
the palcode in say eb64p/platform.[hS] need to be changed? (With some mods to
MILO to recoginze this, of course.) If this is the grunt of the work, I may try
my hand at it, as its all research, and there is nothing important on the
machine.
Thanks,
Dave Dillow
