I had a similar problem with auich in -current around the time of 1.5S:

    <URL:http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2001/02/28/0014.html>

I no longer have that machine to test with, but
sys/dev/pci/{auich.c,auichreg.h} haven't been updated since then. My
impression from the above thread is that this is a hard problem to solve
well.
