This is an old OPTi chipset.
If you use a Bt878 card with this chipset, be sure to enable
the SIS/VIA chipset compatiblity mode workaround.

SIS/VIA/ OPTi chipset PCI bus workarounds.
These make the Bt878/879 chips stabler on certain
older and non-intel motherboards.
Use options BKTR_430_FX_MODE
or options BKTR_SIS_VIA_MODE
to enable these modes.
Also rename 849 to 849A
local "login" name for rcmd(3). This is particularly useful for things
like portslave and other packages with terminal server functionality
where a login can either run ppp locally or get shunted off to another
box via rlogin depending on radius authentication etc. Quite often the
local box doesn't even have accounts, so a flag such as this is needed.
Obviously this is restricted to callers with uid == 0.

These bring the kernel config files in sync with those in
RELENG_3
in the transmit code: the TX descriptor ring, and a 'shadow' ring of mbuf
pointers, one for each TX descriptor. When transmitting a packet that
consists of several fragments in an mbuf chain, we link each fragment
to a descriptor in the TX ring, but we only save a pointer to the mbuf
chain. This pointer is saved in the shadow ring entry which corresponds
to the first fragment in the packet. Later, ti_txeof() can release the
whole chain with a single m_freem() call. (We need the second ring to
keep track of the virtual addresses of the mbuf chains.)
The problem with this is that the Tigon isn't actually through with the
mbuf chain until it reaches the last fragment (which has the TI_BDFLAG_END
bit set), however the current scheme releases the mbuf chain as soon as
the first fragment is consumed. This is wrong, since the mbufs can then
be yanked out from under the Tigon and modified before the other fragments
can be transmitted.
The fix is to make a one line change to ti_encap() so that it saves the
mbuf chain pointer in the shadow ring entry that corresponds to the last
fragment in TX ring instead of the first. This prevents the mbufs from
being released until the last fragment is transmitted.

+ add a missing call to dn_rule_delete() when flushing firewall
rules, thus preventing possible panics due to dangling pointers
(this was already done for single rule deletes).
+ improve "usage" output in ipfw(8)
+ add a few checks to ipfw pipe parameters and make it a bit more
tolerant of common mistakes (such as specifying kbit instead of Kbit)

if there is no character device associated with the block device. In this
case that doesn't matter because bdevvp() doesn't use the character
device structure.

on systems with no FFS.
- Remove all references to mfs from cpu_rootconf(). mfs_init is
called prior to cpu_rootconf(), so it can set mountrootfsname to mfs
and (more imporantly) set rootdev using the (bogus in Bruce's opinion)
special major number of 255.
- Fix an error message.
- Do the MFS_ROOT setting of mountrootfsname in mfs_init() instead of
cpu_rootconf().
- Set rootdev in mfs_init instead of later in mfs_mount() iff MFS_ROOT.
and was also a bit inconsistent: leading blanks, or any double blanks
generated empty arguments, but a trailing blank did not.
