Support for PERC4e/Di and 4e/Si

[Clay_Cooper at Dell.com]

Martin and all,
Thanks for your help.  I found a patch in the freebsd-stable mailing
list archive that adds the PCI-IDs to amr_pci.c.  For some reason the
patch would not apply correctly to my 4.10-stable-20040818-jpsnap
source, but I was able to make the changes manually and compile a new
kernel.  The new kernel recognized the PERC4e/Di and PERC4e/Si, and the
amr driver loaded and worked with the newer PERCs.  For everyone's
reference, here is the patch as copied from the mailing list:

have you tried booting from the first CD. I think the floppy based
kernel is cut down a little to save space, so it may not have the
required driver on it.

If you can't boot from the CD (like bios won't support it), you'll have
to build you own floppy images with the perc 4e driver in that kernel. 
See the hnadbook for how to do this..
