Make that i830, i840, i850, i860 and everything else. A better way for
dealing with specialized configure routines for these various chipsets
would definately seem to be in order. Between i840/i850/i860, there's
very little difference except for what bits to clear in the ERRSTS register.

It would be nice to be able to get the 840/850/860 down to just a few lines
of code a peice instead of this huge overlap of generic routines thats
happening currently.

Here's a patch for i860..
