 I have tested the patch on a number of Intel boards and it works on all of 
 them.  However, one still need to use
 debug.acpi.disabled="sysresource" in /boot/loader.conf
 
 
 Intel 855 GME (ICH4)
 ichwd module loaded
 ichwd0: <Intel 82801DBM watchdog timer> on motherboard
 
 Intenet 865 (ICH5)
 ichwd module loaded
 ichwd0: <Intel 82801EB/ER watchdog timer> on motherboard
 
 
 On a different but somewhat related note, no luck with the ICH6.  Adding 
 the defs
 
 +       {VENDORID_INTEL, DEVICEID_82801FB, "Intel ICH6 watchdog device"},
 +#define DEVICEID_82801FB        0x2640
 
 Doesnt allow the box to be rebooted.    But then again, the ICH6 watchdog 
 (Intel 915 board) never worked with any watchdog driver
 
 Same thing with the version on the website
 
 Loading ichwd module.
 ichwd0: <Intel ICH6 watchdog device> on motherboard
 ichwd0: Watchdog ready...
