They are on-topic.

But my knowledge of the i810 video driver is that it is to drive the
video on Intel's i810 and i815 Pentium-3 motherboards.  Those certainly
can't accept an EM64T CPU.  So I'm puzzled what piece of hardware, in a
platform that FreeBSD/AMD64 runs on, that could need this driver.

src/sys/conf/files.amd64 revision 1.46 removed pci/agp_i810.c under these
assumptions.  Were they wrong and I should add pci/agp_i810.c back?
