New Revision: 233662
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/233662

Log:
  Fix for boot issue: Don't disable BARs on AGP devices. In general:
  Don't disable BARs on any PCI display devices, because doing that can
  sometimes cause the main memory bus to stop working, causing all
  memory reads to return nothing but 0xFFFFFFFF, even though the memory
  location was previously written.  After a while a privileged
  instruction fault will appear and then nothing more can be debugged.
  The reason for this behaviour is unknown.
