I plan to run NetBSD on a box with two Adaptec 2940 SCSI controllers.
The controllers I have are detected by the NetBSD/i386-1.1 kernel
as having an unrecognised vendor/product code 0x9004/0x8178, whereas
the kernel sources say:

aic7870.c:#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_ADAPTEC_2940    0x71789004ul

Notice the difference between 8178 and 7178.

Am I likely to run into trouble if I just teach the kernel to
treat device code 8178 identically to 7178?
