  The 440LX supports both parity and ECC.  There is no AGP driver yet, so
FreeBSD doesn't even know the AGP port is there.

  The aic driver is for ISA cards.  The ahc driver does not support the
7895, but the ahc driver in the CAM patch kit for current does.  CAM may
be back ported to 2.2-stable someday.
