I don't know if this is a real question. Have we VIA products on PCI

Yes. Certainly for on-board devices too.
OK , other argument.
We have billions of VIA chip sets with VIA PCI on-board and VIA PCI on others chip sets, if exists, are a very few.
So, because some exceptions, we shouldn't stop a resolution of a very
large % of the cases.
No thanks. As VIA SATA maintainer, I like being able to use my VIA SATA PCI card.

I have 2 computer with 2 different Asrock
(http://www.asrock.com/product/775Dual-880Pro.htm) boards, both have a
VIA8237 and a VIA SATA, and both are quirked wrongly, when I use kernels
2.6.17+ . And if I haven't bought this 2 computers in a supermarket, I won't be
here discussion this subjects.

So I like to remember http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/28/264
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/9/4/111 ( that confirm a VIA SATA on XT-PIC
mode ) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/9/1/106 )

So VIA SATA needs my patch or Daniel Drake patch to _WORK_ .

No argument.

I'm just saying that you cannot avoid the VIA-device-not-on-VIA-chipset case. I don't care which patch is used, as long as _both_ cases work.
