So, FYI:

'pcivga' has been renamed 'vga'; if you've got custom kernel config
files that define pcivga devices, you should change all instances of
'pcivga' to 'vga'.

I also added ISA VGA support.  If you have an ISA VGA board, you can
enable it by adding a "vga0 at isa?" line to your config file
(or uncommenting one of the ones in the 'standard' config files I
ship).  However, at this time, you SHOULD NOT use both "vga0 at
isa..." and "vga* at pci..." (or any similar combination) in the same
kernel, because of a few outstanding problems in the way those devices
are configured.  Eventually that'll be fixed, but right now it
could cause you some problems if you try it.
