JFYI.  Difference between -CURRENT and -STABLE is not the issue here.
Necessary amount of effort to back-port these update to -STABLE is
negligible.

The most significant difference between -CURRENT and -STABLE is
new-bus stuff.  But, it won't affect these drivers much.  In fact, I
prepared much of this update before new-bus got into -CURRENT when
-CURRENT and -STABLE were still very similar.

Anyway, if we strictly stick to the principle that -STABLE only gets
fixes and no enhancement, this update won't be merged to -STABLE.

But, we find it fixes some problems in -STABLE (I don't know if there
is any, though), we might contemplate MFC.
