You can -- Wilko simply took it out of GENERIC.  You can install 5.3 and
upgrade to 6-CURRENT.  I don't imagine the axing of kernel support for
DEC_AXPPCI_33 as the code is tiny, is a platform statement, not a CPU
instruction set statement as with axing I386 support.  We'd need to axe
21064 support to get that type of gain with Alpha.
