You oversimplify. For example, I have:
1 uniprocessor IOAPIC (i440FX) 1 SMP IOAPIC (flat mode) (i440GX) 2 XT-PIC noapic (i440BX, VIA KT133)

And again:
1 VIA VT82C686 1 HPT370A 1 PDC20267 1 PDC20268 1 PIIX3 2 PIIX4
So even in my 'simple' i386 environment there is a lot of variety in just those two things.
