SubjectRe: Intel AGP support attaching to wrong PCI IDs

That might actually be useful to support some weird hardware. E.g. I
have a single-function PCI device which reports as a graphics adapter
(either VGA or other, depending on the configuration), but besides the
actual graphics adapter the chip includes a frame grabber, an USB host
controller, an Ethernet interface, an IEEE 1284 parallel port, an UART, an
I2C controller and a PS/2 keybard/mouse controller. ;-) All of these
mapped with a single PCI BAR; the chip can also be configured for legacy
mapping of some devices, like the PS/2 stuff.
