This WIP kernel understands the undocumented gestalt values
reported by clock-chipped 6100 machines.

A bit of history:

Originally mklinux only ran on NuBUS machines, so the OSF MK assumed
that everything was a nubus machine.

Then we introduced support for PCI machines, and the enabler was
modified to tell mach the gestalt value of the machine in order
to be able to differentiate. OSF MK assumed that the old
enabler was only used on NuBUS machines, so it inserted the
appropriate gestalt value if it was missing. It did a big
switch() on all the different known Gestalt values to decide
if a machine was NuBUS or not, and assumed it was a PCI
machine if there was an unrecognised value (no-one makes
NuBUS machines any more...)

However, there was this missing undocumented Gestalt value
for clock-chipped 6100 machines, which meant that the enabler
thought that the machine was a PCI machine (via the same
kind of decision process as the OSF MK), and that the same
error of judgement was made by the OSF MK - so both need
updating.

Here is a new microkernel image. Please use the usual
precautions when installing it, ie. keep a backup of
your working system!

The only thing it helps is for running on clock-chipped
6100 machines with the new enabler. Please post your
success/failure stories to the mklinux-development-system
mailing list (if you're not subscribed, then send it
to another of the lists).
