It would be better to look for any PCI bridge. Sometimes there are different PCI bridges around (e.g. external PCI-X bridges on HT systems) which might need own quirks Also in the x86 world Microsoft defined a FADT ACPI flag that MSI doesn't work for Vista. It might make sense to do if (dmi year >= 2007 && FADT.msi_disable not set) assume it works > This patch should be safe.
