Wait a second, just for clarity: are you saying that BESL-capable
controllers do not support the old HIRD mechanism and thus just break
on non-BESL aware OSes? I would've assumed that they somehow notice if
software doesn't write to the new register and automatically fall back
to HIRD... it seems like a weird decision to break hardware backwards
compatibility like that (after all, it would mean that Linux 3.10 and
older would also break on LynxPoint systems right now).
