I'm not very sure about your problem with iir(4).  A diff against
RELENG_7_1 does not reveal any change on the driver itself.  Are you
sure that 7.1-R can have the device working?

it's definitly broken for me, it broke sometime after rev 189591.
but the main questions are still unanswered. The problem I'm facing,
together with the amr, is on hosts that are being de-comissioned,
and though I'll be sad turning them to scrap, they did serve us well.
