I plan on removing EISA bus support on Feb 15th. If you are still
using these devices on FreeBSD 10 or newer, please let me know.

Since I have heard of nobody actually using this either before 11 when
I made it default NO, nor with this message, I'll move ahead with
this. However, there's more tendrils for EISA bus than there was for
MCA, so its removal is taking longer because one cannot blindly remove
all references to EISA because not all of them are for EISA bus
support.

last time I saw an eisa bus was in 1996 and it was old then. that's
long enough.

The code's been gone for two weeks.
