>  Trim the default set of device hints on i386 and amd64:
>  - Remove vga0 and the disabled uart2/uart3 hints from both platforms.
>  - Remove hints for ISA adv0, bt0, aha0, aic0, ed0, cs0, sn0, ie0, fe0, and
>    le0 from i386.  All these hints were marked 'disabled' and thus already
>    did not work "out of the box".

Heh, this will again change the behaviour under virtualization hosts
that emulate this hardware. Sometime before 7.0 the addition of this
hint caused all leX devices to be renamed le(X+1) because le0 was
taken and disabled. Restoring this will cause the same thing in
reverse. Unless someone actually has this hardware (as opposed to its
emulation) and needs the hint for something, I'd suggest these
particular lines be removed before 8.0 to restore the original
behaviour quickly. Obviously, they cannot be MFC-ed to 7-STABLE
