Support for SIS 965L chipset

This is a repeat of a posting to freebsd-questions a couple of weeks ago.

Although this is a chipset designed for the AMD processors (which are 
leaning 64), I am interested in i386 support as that would be my 
preferred run environment for the time being.   The 965L appears to be 
the most problematic as it supports SATA and NIC and loading a system 
without these two devices....

SIS has posted a linux driver on their website but I do not know how to 
successfully compile it into my system.  If support is not available in 
5.4,  does anyone know its likelihood of being in 5.5?   Alternatively, 
can someone suggest how one goes about formally requesting that support 
be added?
