RocketPort0 = 8 ports

rp0: <rp> port 0x6000-0x603f irq 11 at device 18.0 on pci0
rp0: driver is using old-style compatability shims
WARNING: driver rp should register devices with make_dev() (dev_t =
"#rp/0x10080")

Aside from the whine about make_dev, I've been quite happy. And this is with
stuff in the tree- no need to grab something from the website. I assume that
4.2 would be the same. This is the 8 port PCI card.
