I'm not sure.  I suspect that it is assigning other interrupts
differently.  I'm not entirely sure.

FreeBSD -current doesn't support this just yet.

: any chance this will MFC-ed?

To be honest, the odds are low.  It won't be soon because the code
isn't ready for prime time just yet.  We've still hit problem cases
from time to time.
