I see:

eth0: DC21041 at 0x1080 (PCI bus 0, device 4), h/w address 00:80:c8:5a:f8:5b,
and requires IRQ29 (provided by PCI BIOS).
de4x5.c:V0.540 1998/7/5 davies@maniac.ultranet.com
eth1: region already allocated at 0x1080.
eth1: region already allocated at 0x1080.
eth2: region already allocated at 0x1080.
eth3: region already allocated at 0x1080.
eth4: region already allocated at 0x1080.
eth5: region already allocated at 0x1080.
eth6: region already allocated at 0x1080.
eth7: region already allocated at 0x1080.

with only one 21041 board on PPC.

Caused by the `probe multiple times for multiple boards' changes.

Ok, hmmm... I thought at first "ok, then, it just shouldn't print out
this message if it is the technique used to know what cards it has
initialized" but now I'm thinking "this is a bug, it's eating up
eth_dev slots along the way".

Comments?
