Hi Bruce,

I think that the PCI_ENABLE_IO_MODES option is definitely something
we want visible in the release notes (and possibly errata, although
I doubt hardware bug descriptions can really be justified there).  I
can't believe how many laptops (never seen desktops that) still need
this option, and at least one that I've encountered doesn't address the
register initialization problem in its latest available BIOS upgrade.

For clues on a good release notes entry, see kern/32169 for a quick
synopsis and kern/26920 for a detailed example of exactly what breakage
this option works around.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
