So I've cobbled together an ig4_lpss that looks like it attaches to my 
fake lpss "bus" and /seems/ to even call the ig4_iic code to attach to 
an iicbus, but I don't get a /dev/iic0 device node...

In lpss, my bus_alloc_resource() just forwards the resource handles for 
the BAR and IRQ it acquired.  In earlier attempts I was hanging the box 
hard when I tried to call device_add_child() from lpss' attach method; I 
suspect I was getting into an infinite loop adding the same child.

I'm not feeling too confident about the condition of the FreeBSD ig4 
driver; the PCI attach code was calling pci_alloc_msi() wrong, passing a 
pointer to the rid (0) instead of a pointer to a count variable, and not 
passing bus_alloc_resource_any() an IRQ rid > 0 if it has an MSI.  I'd 
be happy(er) if ig4 created a /dev/iic0 node - I figured iicbus(4) took 
care of all that...
