Put it in NOTES for arches that support it.  Strictly it should be in MD
NOTES, but MI notes already has lots of MD buses like pci and drivers
like bge that depend on pci.  Some MD NOTES have many nodevice lines to
kill non-MI things in MI NOTES, but apparently none needs to kill pci
or the hundreds of drivers that depend on it yet.

The most broken drivers aren't even listed in sys/conf/files.*.
