No, no, and no; these were made relative to 3.0-CURRENT.  They would need
to be backported to the 2.2 branch.  (I think Luigi's drivers actually do
work on 2.2, you'd have to check with him or multimedia@freebsd.org).

The IDE bustmastering changes were committed and will be a part of 3.0.
The sound driver is still in a bit of flux.  The DPT driver is still
undergoing evaluation.

Yes and no.  I'm told that BIND 8.x builds cleanly on FreeBSD.  XFree86 is
always updated silently.
