MMIO means: memory mapped io (=MEMORYMAPPED)
I agree that confusion is indeed possible.
Linux-2.0.X does not support MMIO though PCI bus on Alpha. So option
IOMAPPED should be set to Y for NCR53C8XX driver.
Otherwise, the system will crash at start-up.
In driver revision 1.12c, the driver just ignore this option and forced
IOMAPPED on Alpha. I have removed the corresponding stuf (#ifdef
__alpha__) for Linux-2.1.something_that_supports_pci_mmio_on_alpha.
I will add a condition involving LINUX_VERSION_CODE for 2.0.X in the next
revision of the driver.
Sorry if you had problems under Alpha with the driver 1.14/a/c.
