(I had been busy for my own research activity until the last weekend)
Supported devices:
SB Midi Port (sbc + midi)
SB OPL3 (sbc + midi)
16550 UART (midi, needs a trick in your hint)
CS461x Midi Port (csa + midi)
OSS-compatible sequencer (seq)
Supported playing software:
playmidi (We definitely need more)
Notes:
/dev/midistat now reports installed midi drivers. /dev/sndstat reports
only pcm drivers. We need the new name(pcmstat?).
EMU8000(SB AWE) does not sound yet but does get probed so that the OPL3
synth on an AWE card works.

stack. It's bad for your machine's health.
Make the two huge structs in reseed() static to prevent crashes. This
is the bug that people have been running into and panic()ing on for the
past few days.

only doing so if loader.rc does not exist. This fixes the problem where
installworld doesn't update /boot/loader.4th, resulting in device.hints not
being loaded after updating past the config(8) changes, which resulted in
mcclock0 not being probed, and a nice kernel panic during boot.

to some people troubelshooting problems in the future.

hose are 16 PCI instances apart. This allows us to recognize secondary
PCI busses (at least to a first level) until the pci infrastructure is
fixed.
Turn on support for secondary cycles, too. Redo debug printouts.
Instead, for now (until we get a pci infrastructure cleanup),
assign the PCI bus number to be mcpcia bus instance << 4. This
is to allow secondary bridges some room to be recongnized on
4100 systems.
Currently, many drivers support more than one bus of ISA, EISA, MCA,
PCI.
Before this commit, we had, for example, some SCSI devices listed more
than once, iirc, some up to three times (ISA/EISA, MCA, PCI).
Since now the "device" line is common for all of them and they only
differ for the hints stuff, I did the following:
First, list Busses: (E)ISA, MCA, PCI and explain, that only ISA
needs the hints stuff.
Move NIC/SCSI stuff, which were the only split sections, behind these
stuff. Describe all drivers only one time and list all supported
chips.
List all device (+ hints for ISA, if possible).
I've also added few additional supported chips to some drivers, xl for
example and some SCSI drivers.
Also, softupdates is no longer disabled by default, so the comment should
not say, it's not enabled by default due to license issues.
