The ice(4) driver is the driver for the Intel E8xx series Ethernet
controllers; currently with codenames Columbiaville and
Columbia Park.
These new controllers support 100G speeds, as well as introducing
more queues, better virtualization support, and more offload
capabilities. Future work will enable virtual functions (like
in ixl(4)) and the other functionality outlined above.
For full functionality, the kernel should be compiled with
"device ice_ddp" like in the amd64 NOTES file, and/or
ice_ddp_load="YES" should be added to /boot/loader.conf so that
the DDP package file included in this commit can be downloaded
to the adapter. Otherwise, the adapter will fall back to a single
queue mode with limited functionality.
A man page for this driver will be forthcoming.

This should have been done back when it was added, but it was not. It only
really adds an extra entry for memory mapping bits in bcm2835_vcbus.c, so
nothing too extensive yet.
Move the floppy driver to the x86 specific notes file.

x86 needs sc, as does sparc64. powerpc doesn't use it by default, but some old
powermac notebooks do not work with vt yet for reasons unknonw. Even so, I've
removed it from powerpc LINT. It's not in daily use there, and the intent is to
100% switch to vt now that it works for that platform to limit support burden.
All the other architectures omit some or all of the screen savers from their
lint config. Move them to the x86 NOTES files and remove the exclusions. This
reduces slightly the number of savers sparc64 compiles, but since they are in
GENERIC, the overage is adequate and if someone reaelly wants to sort them out
in sparc64 they can sweat the details and the testing.

Create a rough and ready NOTES file from GENERIC, remove the duplication from
sys/conf/NOTES and add relevant no* directives to make this compile.
