OK, I am sure now.  I've found an x86_64 machine with 3.3v slots and
verified that this card does work.

Therefore, we have a serious bug in the aic94xx driver init code.  It's
clearly relying on something to set it up correctly in the BIOS rather
than doing everything in the driver init routine.  This means (unless
corrected) that the card will only work on x86 like platforms.
