Hi. I recently downgraded my laptop from -current to -stable (it wasn't 
hard. The big deal was rebuilding the ports that I had added in the 
meantime). One change in behavior stems from the fact that in -current 
having PnP OS turned on worked -- the USB controller gets the right IRQ 
and works. Also, the pccard controller doesn't hang the machine in 
polled mode like it does normally (undoubtedly this is some sort of BIOS 
bug).

Trouble is, this being a VAIO, USB isn't really something you can do 
without. But turning PnP OS _off_ makes booting Windows hang and makes 
the pccard polled mode hang and is a general nuisance to have to do.

What are the prospects of getting the PnP OS PCI IRQ routing stuff MFCed 
so that the USB controllers and pccard polled mode will work with PnP OS on?
