OK.  So it sounds like this should be #ifdef'ed out in the radeon, r200 
and mga drivers.

OK, I've added the disclaimer and the note about selecting multiple
drivers.  I also implemented my suggestion about only showing the
appropriate driver notes when a subset is selected (I'm a PHP newb, but it
seems to work. :) ).  I've also added back the anchor links to the driver
notes on the chip names at the top of the table.  I commented out the line
that prints the ARB_multisample line for now.

The dynamic page is now live with these changes.  I changed the link on
the status page to the new phtml page.  The original flat HTML file is
still in /doc as dri_driver_features.html.orig
