It strikes me as very unwise to do this.  I know that some VIA Rhine 
exist on a PCI card, which is a valid case where this quirk should -not- 
be executed.

The VIA quirk is only for on-motherboard devices, which have special PCI 
interrupt line behavior (makes some internal PIC connections).

How can we solve this conditionally?  I agree this is needed...  for 
on-mobo devices.  But 0x3065 is not always glued in, AFAIK.
