[s-x86] pcic patch (109921-03) for Solaris 8 x86

[Stuart Biggar <stu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a question or two about the new pcic patch for Solaris 8 that
Sun recently released.  I know sun doesn't support notebooks but
they did release a pcic (PCMCIA) patch for Solaris 8 (both x86 and
sparc).  It is supposed to fix some long blocking of interrupts (bug
id 4286161) and other things like pcata cards on some platform
nicknamed "grover" (whatever that is!).

I installed it and my notebook still boots and finds the 3C589D
PCMCIA network card.  However, during the boot I get several messages
on the console and in /var/adm/messages.  I paste a piece cut from
/var/adm/messages below:

I'm just wondering if these WARNINGS mean anything?  They
are new since I installed the patch.

Is there something I should configure?

Machine is an IBM ThinkPad 770E (PII 266, 224 MB RAM, 30 GB
IBM IBM-DJSA-230 IDE hard disk).  Xi Graphics X server.
Fully patched according to the 03/Oct/00 patchdiag.xref file
expect for 109952 and some old PPP patches that I don't think
are required with the Solstice PPP 3.0.1 installed from the Solaris
8 admin pack CD.

If it makes any difference, dma is enabled for IDE.
