Re: Multiple boards.

I'd say: _exactly_ identical boards should be handled by a
one-driver-for-all method.
For things like the S3 drivers which can be made of multiple components,
I'd say one driver per instance, as they could have different components.

If they do not have a clue how to say which driver to assign to which
card, and the cards cannot be autoprobed, I'd say they shouldn't use
multihead. :-)
