I thought about that but couldn't think of a "clean" way to split the ISA
support out. Leaving the ISA code in ni_labpc.c and moving the common
code out to something like ni_labpc_common.c makes the patch a lot
larger and more difficult to review.

How about taking the patches up to this one as they are now and then
renaming ni_labpc.c  -> ni_labpc_common.c and ni_labpc_isa.c -> ni_labpc.c
in the next patch in the series?

Regards,
Hartley
