| The FreeBSD boot probes should tell you.

| If dmesg shows pci bridges:
| pcib0: <Host to PCI bridge> on motherboard
| pci0: <PCI bus> on pcib0
| isab0: <Intel 82371SB PCI to ISA bridge> at device 1.0 on pci0
| isa0: <ISA bus> on isab0

| or you see lines ending with "on pci0" you can be certain of it:
| atapci0: <Intel PIIX3 ATA controller> port 0xfcf0-0xfcff at device 1.1 on pci0

Okay, that was a stupid question.  My machine *does* have PCI interrupts.

Next stupid question: how do I make sure FreeBSD is using them most
effectively?  I'd like to turn on cardbus and pci interrupt handling for all
devices that will handle it or that work better that way.
