Hi,

I still get LOR with my sound card and some hicup under disk load, with
today's 5.2-CURRENT. It's a UP system with following sound card.

pcm0: <Yamaha DS-1E (YMF744)> port 0xfcac-0xfcaf,0xfc00-0xfc3f mem 0xfecf0000-0xfecf7fff irq 9 at device 9.0 on pci0
pcm0: <Asahi Kasei AK4543 AC97 Codec>

Also, here's hand written LOR message:
