argh.  Is someone able to confirm that 2.6.18-rc1-mm2 works OK?  In that
kernel I did a desperation reversion of the offending patches
(revert-VIA-quirk-fixup-additional-PCI-IDs.patch and
revert-PCI-quirk-VIA-IRQ-fixup-should-only-run-for-VIA-southbridges.patch).

Guys, this is a really serious failure but afaict nobody is working on it
and generally nothing at all is happening.

How do we fix all this?  (Who owns it?)
