Ugh.  In that case, can someone back out Poul-Henning's changes to the
if_xe.c in the -STABLE tree?  That's (I hope) the only thing stopping it
from working.  At least that way only my code will be bogus :-)  Believe
me, I know it's ugly, but there's no getting around the fact that the
driver needs to read the CIS, and right now there's no clean way to do that
in -STABLE (is there?).
