interesting - at first glance I didn't think I wanted this, but after
looking at the man page, yes I do ... 

it's not in the GENERIC kernel, but the ALL config lists about 8
different variants of DRM - I think this has an Intel video chipset (the
0x8086 PCI manufacturer id is pretty distinctive) but I'm not sure which
model it is ... 

vga1 at pci0 dev 2 function 0: vendor 0x8086 product 0x27ae (rev. 0x03)

interesting ... can NetBSD make use of this at all?  That could be nice
to have ...

yeah - lii is in the GENERIC kernel however:

$NetBSD: if_lii.c,v 1.5 2008/07/08 12:39:27 sborrill Exp $

I'm aware that most devices these days have manufacturer and model
numbers to allow correct driver binding, but I'm not sure where these
are maintained inside the NetBSD sources - I'm tempted to simply add
them to the lii and Intel i810 drivers and see what happens but haven't
a clue as to where to do this ...
