I don't have any of these boards, so I may be labouring under a false
apprehension here.  It seems that PCI cards with multiple hosts are
actually one host per function (ie just like sym2, and dissimilar to
aic7xyz).  With EISA, we set IRQF_SHARED, so we can request the same
interrupt twice, each time with a different Scsi_Host.  I think the VLB
card is probably stuffed -- need to set IRQF_SHARED for that case.
