of expected PCI express lanes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* On some systems, there are real-mode interrupt handlers that will mask off
their own interrupt. To protect against this, save off the initial value
and check it after the real-mode interrupt service routine is complete.

mfgtest.js. These are used to specify the audio channel(s) used in the
audio loopback tests.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 20011011
* Always restore the PIT to its original state in RunTimerTest(). Fixes a hang
issue SystemStressTest.

or from push buffer, vertex data layout is now randomized).
* Enable polygon smooth testing in GLRandom for HW that supports it (Quadro
except for Q2MX, GF3).

"-display 1 dfp" any more when running on a laptop's flat panel or any other
display device.

need to specify the mobile vendor type anymore, for example,
"-mobile 1" for Dell.

EDID stored in edid.js instead of reading it from the display's ROM.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 20010920

But, if a 16 MB P80 board has 4Mx32 memory on it, that means it was strapped
wrong.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 20010917

similar to the Class039 test, but using the CPU to do the copying.
* Add new MATS algorithm - divides the frame buffer into "boxes" of
approximately 16x16 pixels each and tests them in a deterministically random
sequence. This is better for catching problems because it does more row
and column switches.
* Add a board descriptions for the P80 board.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 20010907
* Enable polygon stipple for NV20 and later in glr_hwtest.
* MODS now detects and rejects golden.bin files from previous versions of MODS.

when the default behaviour is OS_NONE.

- If multiple board descriptions match the board being tested,
use the ones with explicit subvendor ids.
Only use descriptions with "wildcard" subvendor ids if no descriptions
with explicit subvendor ids can be found.
- If test fails or if it prints the "no matching boards" error message,
then it will print some debugging information in the mods.log file.
