You're right, of course. However, it would be nice if FreeBSD were  able to
adapt to some common problems it doesn't handle yet -- such as the bug in
some RZ1000 chips. (I've been lucky so far, in that most of the
motherboards I've worked with have let me disable the part of the chip that
poses the problem. But FreeBSD really should handle this one.)
