What is necessary to support the Dell 1650 with Adaptec AACRAID ROMB128 
under 4.5-RELEASE-P2?

In other words, where's the hook in FreeBSD to do the same thing mentioned 
below for Linux?

RFC][PATCH] passing PCI IDs in at module load

So we don't get bitten ever again by the problem of not having the PCI IDs
in the driver for a brand new controller, I've made a patch which should
solve this. Basically, you pass as a module option the PCI
vendor/device/subsys vendor/device, like so:

insmod aacraid aacraid_pciid=0x1028,0x0001,0x1028,0x0001

This gets found first, then all other devices get probed as normal.

While I was at it, I removed some of the #ifdef MODULE stuff that's not
necessary with 2.4.x.

Thoughts?
-Matt
