This is a good point.  If people were already using a driver on an
oddball architecture, then we would get _those_ warnings (as we did
when someone plugged a zd1211 device into their sparc box).  The point
of the warning is/was to point-out the problem to developers running
on mainstream architecutres so that they could fix these problems
rather than foisting them on some poor schmuck years from now trying
to build an SPARC-based AP.  (Hey, it could happen...)
