FreeBSD current seems to run on Ice Lake, Rome & Milan that $work
makes ...  Finally got a VIC driver limping along to UEFI PXE boot our
blade or rack servers.  Some systems support SATA/SAS and NVME u.2 but
not in tri-mode.  Some systems have the u.2 NVME routed to the CPU directly
or through a switch.  I bounce them between Linux and FreeBSD as needed.
