It looks like the Ultrix folks have adoped the BSD vax/inline type
program that uses an extra processing step between the C compiler
and the assembler to replace commonly used subroutines by inline
code.  Luckily, it appears that the inline program is provided and
there are some prototype lines in the makefile that show how to use
the inline program.

If everything is working, you should be able to put your source file
in /sys/vaxuba (or whichever), create a file named /sys/conf/files.YOURSYS
with a line in it for your driver and do a make.  If not, then you're
going to have to wing it.  Note that there have been changes in the kernel
"memory allocation" routines, so you might have to change your driver
source if you get into these.

To see what routines are implemented by the inline program, try:

strings /usr/include/vax/inline/inline | grep '^[0-9][a-f],_' | more

Have fun!
