 The "discrete" PMAZ-A is identical to the "integrated" one, so if one
works, the other does too.  Changes that affect the PMAZ-A are as follows: 

1. Use bus (physical) addresses everywhere, except when doing PIO copying
between host memory and the board's SRAM. 

2. An additional write barrier is added before triggering board's DMA
transfer from the board's SRAM (a nop for R3k). 

So they are minimal enough for a single run-time check to suffice. 

 Anyway, testing a current kernel on the /200 would be a good thing.
