This isn't correct.  We want to get rid of some of the current contents
of pci-y when NUMAQ or VISWS are enabled.  I'm not quite sure what the
right fix is here.  Maybe something like ...

--- arch/i386/pci/Makefile      14 Sep 2005 12:54:20 -0000      1.3
+++ arch/i386/pci/Makefile      12 Oct 2005 17:51:19 -0000

 obj-y                          += $(pci-y) common.o

This mess really needs some more eyes on it.  For example, should fixups.o
really be enabled on visws but disabled on numaq?  I suspect both want
legacy.o disabled.  Does it make sense to enable ACPI on a NUMAQ system?
I don't know enough about them.

And it /really/ needs some commentary.  Here's my first cut at it, based
on my memories of editing it several years ago:

# A little more complex than most Makefiles.
# Neither the VISWS nor the NUMAQ configs want to see legacy.o compiled in.
# VISWS doesn't have ACPI to worry about, but NUMAQ might
# Order is important -- don't rearrange the order of files here.
