Given said computer society would probably no longer exist if it had not
you judge. I don't see what the problem is with the copyright messages. It
would be good to change them to all use the same format and style so we
get for example
eth0: NE2000 IRQ 7 I/O 0x240 Address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Version 1.14
but also changing stuff like the floppy to report
fd0: XXXXXchip IRQ n I/O xxx ....
The way to do this would probably be to provide
report_config(devname, irq, io, mem, memend, dma, other, version);
that did the formatting how you wanted it (assuming IO -1 , MEM -1 etc mean
no entry for)
