O.K. I will submit a patch for this, so Orion5x at least boots. Maybe
PCI will not work, but booting is a step forward.

Humm, not sure. I have a Marvell Orion5x NAS reference design. It has
a Mini-PCI slot on the bottom. So if i can find a card, i can test. I
know i have some WiFi cards in my junk box, but i've no idea if these
have i/o.
