    Andre please explain... I don't understand what is bad....

    There was:
                    host = pci_find_device (PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA,
                                            ApolloHostChipInfo[i].host_id,
                                            NULL);

    So Irongate wasn't even found. It was intentionally? If so where's the
    comment?

    It should work. I don't have Irongate. That's why I posted patch on lkml.

    These tables (two & three) were _identical_.

    Yep. My patch doesn't change this behaviour...

    I supposed this, but there was no comment.
    It is the right way to have unnecessary data in kernel for weeks?
    Shouldn't you add this table when they vary?
