That is from a driver which I added mainly for alphas. I might disable
this for x86 or modify it to coexist with PNPBIOS. Stick a 'return' in
es1888_identify in sys/dev/pcm/isa/es1888.c.

This is because the ES1888 device is holding the resources. Also the
driver needs CPQb0ac adding to its list of IDs.

This I also know about. I might add a workaround for this. Basically the
description is changed after the device was printed.

Nothing to do with me :-)

Hmm. The ess driver works nicely with the ESS1888 in my alpha box.
