I'm not on the core team but I'm not sure why you believe that
this has anything to do with core.

Is this device visible in the BIOS and if so, what does the BIOS
say its configuration is.  The dmesg from a verbose boot may be
useful.  The "port may not be enabled" line looks to be the most
relevant one.

Interrupts on the PCI bus can be shared and quite often are.

It appears that there is an error in /usr/share/misc/pci_vendors.  Feel
free to write a bug report.  The kernel is correctly recognizing it.

So it _does_ work.

Probably because the interrupts are not working.

Probably because your motherboard vendor decided to save a few deci-
cents by not bothering to connect up all the available interrupt
inputs and just share one.  This isn't FreeBSD - it's the copper
tracks on your motherboard.
