Three of my machines have the F00F bug; my firewall, my print server and
my laptop - I happened to test this earlier today, while upgrading my
last 4.5-pX machines.  I also use ISA network cards a bit, and a lot of
on-motherboard things seem to be logically ISA devices.  I don't
have any 486s now, but that is more to do with end-of-life ones not
being prefitted with a useful amount of memory.

I'd be very grateful if ISA support and the f00f workaround stayed in
FreeBSD for a long time yet.
