I always see the following with bge:
bge0: pcistate failed to revert

On some hardware this is followed by the modebits line above. Here's a 
dmesg fragment:

bge0 at pci2 dev 4 function 0: Broadcom BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet
bge0: interrupting at irq 22, event channel 7
bge0: ASIC BCM5703 A2 (0x1002), Ethernet address 00:02:55:b7:63:ff
brgphy0 at bge0 phy 1: BCM5703 1000BASE-T media interface, rev. 2

This happens on 3.1 and -current.

We use these machines in production and I'm not _aware_ of any problems, 
but perhaps a bge meister could explain whether they are just 
informational or something to be worried about.
