    The FIC PA-2013 is one of the stranger types of MVP3.
    (A mixture of 82c597 host bridge and 82c598 PCI bridge).

    As discussed some time ago on this list, there are some of these
    boards, which initially seem to be an MVP3, but have the host bridge ID
    set to an VP3. (Real reasoning behind this never figured out).

    2.4 has code in the pci quirks to disable the register which makes
    the chip masquerade as a VP3, and forces it to identify itself as
    an MVP3 part. I'm curious whether this has an interaction here.

    I have a list of known 'hybrid' boards, and known true (both halves) MVP3
    boards and also a collection of lspci -xxx outputs from a selection of
    them. If anyone wants any of this stuff, shout and I'll put it up
    for ftp/www.

    I'm curious if all of the other boards in Alans bug reports also
    fall into the stranger category.

    regards,

    Davej.
