It requires two files (/sys/pci/ide_pci.c and /sys/ide_pcireg.h) to be added, two files (/sys/i386/isa/wd.c /sys/i386/isa/wdreg.h) to be replaced, and a line to be changed in /sys/i386/conf/files.i386. I've been running with it in 2.2-x since it was announced and it works just fine. Hardly a dramatic change. However, I've asked the same question before and met with the same disapproving glare.
