Fixes for some subset of the following bugs are required:

  5108602 isoch does not work on x86
  6346997 av1394 can't parse roms, breaks ioctl(IEC61883_NODE_GET_TEXT_LEAF)
  6347004 av1394_ioctl_isoch_init() censors av1394_ic_validate_init_params()
  6353395 Dubious frame size test in av1394_ic_validate_init_params
  6353396 av1394_ic_dma_sync_frames() confuses frames and segments, causes panic
  6353397 av1394_ic_trigger_softint() can set wrong mask on x86
  6353398 av1394 should report buffer overruns

I had rough fixes for them, but av1394 isn't a high enough priority for
the responsible engineer to integrate them into Solaris.
