As of the code from the evening of Sept. 3, everything works
'out-of-the-box' at bootup (if the cards are inserted).

Unfortunately, it appears that 'Hot-Swap' insertion/removal no longer
work as reliably as before.  I can do a single card insertion/removal,
but if I start mixing/matching cards, then it'll hang the box.

I'm pretty sure this worked on a kernel from late last weekend (not
Memorial weekend), but since I was on a business trip last week and did
not get a chance to try all the new changes that were made last week.
I'll try and track down which commit broke it last week, and verify that
it did indeed work.  I have a workaround to this by powering down the
card ahead of time, but it's annoying since I tend to forget doing
this. :(

Another data point is that I can no longer use ISA interrupt routing,
while prior to the PCI patches, everything worked fine.  I'm testing
this by setting the following variables at the 'boot' prompt:
set hw.pcic.intr_path=1
set hw.pcic.irq=0
*or*
set hw.pcic.irq=3

IRQ3 is available, but this doesn't work.  What information would help?

Note, I don't expect anything to be done on this.  I know that Warner's
been working like a madmn the last few weeks on this, and since
everything 'works' (aside from above), I'm happy enough with the
status-quo for 4.4.
