I'm not sure this is a good thing. This is hiding problems for example.. the people who changed the PCI interface were to lazy to upgrade tghe fore driver to work in -current. Not unsurprisingly, there are no fore users using -current (I have no idea about 4.x but certainly in -current thre are none). it should be up to whoever changed the API for PCI devices to fix it, not just hide it. I know that this is not new... someone already comment3ed out the entire file fore_load.c, but it's a chicken and egg thing. If we don't have working drivers (and I'm not sure how to write a PCI driver these days, so how would an end user be expected to fix this?) then we don;t get users for those drivers. it should be up to people who break interfaces to fix (or at least try arrange the fixing of) the things they broke.
