Symptoms:
	PHCO_27446:
	1. ( SR:8606192486 CR:JAGad61699 )
	   When ioinit is run with -f option, it does not
	   check if the specified instance number for an
	   ext_bus class device exceeds 255 and assigns
	   the specified instance number to the device.

	PHCO_12555:
	1. ioinit does not process infile correctly when
	   2 or more hardware paths are specified with
	   different class but the same instance numbers.
	   ioinit thinks that there was a duplicate class
	   with the same instance number.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_27446:
	1. ( SR:8606192486 CR:JAGad61699 )
	   ioinit was not checking instance number range for
	   ext_bus class devices.
	Resolution:
	   ioinit code has been modified, so that it will not
	   allow instance numbers greater than 255 for ext_bus
	   class devices.

	PHCO_12555:
	1. ioinit does not process infile correctly when
	   2 or more hardware paths are specified with
	   different class but the same instance numbers.
	   ioinit thinks that there was a duplicate class
	   with the same instance number.
	Resolution:
	   The code in ioinit does not save a copy of the
	   value of class when processing the infile. It
	   stores a pointer to the value in a temporary
	   buffer that is overwritten everytime each line
	   is read from the infile.  So when the next line
	   is compared with the previous one, it sees a
	   duplicate copy.

Enhancement:
	No
