Yeah, I found those on the intel site too, but nothing with config space
access info.

It's surprising, actually. I usually have no trouble finding chipset
config space info for intel chipsets.

Adding a few Intel people to the list, in the hope that they would know at
least the right person to ask.

Guys: the problem is that the 440MX (PCI ID: 8086:7194) seems to have some
magic IO register stuff again (probably ACPI or SMBus as usual), and we
don't know about them, and we don't have a quirk, so when the cardbus IO
range gets allocated, it can clash and cause trouble.

No docs seem to say _what_ the magic IO addresses are.. Pls help!
