   example of a previously completed port).
 
+- lirc_bt829 uses registers on a Mach64 VT, which has a separate kernel
+  framebuffer driver (atyfb) and userland X driver (mach64).  It can't
+  simply be converted to a normal PCI driver, but ideally it should be
+  coordinated with the other drivers.
