Since 4.x branch of FreeBSD is still supported, this PR should
be reopened. Leaving it closed means that FreeBSD 4.x will not
work at all on a large number of mainboards based on SiS chipset,
and FreeBSD team is not going to fix this. These mainboards support
CPUs > 1 GHz (so they are not trash yet), and are sold all over
the world.

If SЬren says, that hardwiring PCI-ID can break something, than,
at least, some option like SIS5591_HACK in kernel config must be
present, which enables this hack.

P.S. I have 3 boxes with this controller onboard, running 4-STABLE
with uptime > 90 days. I use patch from originator, which
hardwires PCI-ID.
