We hate hate hate ifdefs.

What we should do is, we should have told Hartley to go ahead with
his struct comedi_boardinfo idea.  If this were in a .h file then it
would be allowed to #ifdef out the devid.

The more functions we could make general purpose the smaller the
drivers would be probably.  Or at least, the drivers would be
simpler and easier to maintain which is the only thing we actually
care about.
