Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

If you are using the driver as a module, you can specify your ports and IRQs
like
# insmod mcdx.o mcdx=0x300,11,0x304,5
and so on ("address,IRQ" pairs).
This will override the configuration in mcdx.h.
This driver:
o handles XA and (hopefully) multi session CDs as well as
ordinary CDs;
o supports up to 5 drives (of course, you'll need free
IRQs, i/o ports and slots);
o plays audio
This version doesn't support yet:
o shared IRQs (but it seems to be possible - I've successfully
connected two drives to the same irq. So it's `only' a
problem of the driver.)
This driver never will:
o Read digital audio (i.e. copy directly), due to missing
hardware features.
