Mapping the bar in early pci setup doesn't seem like the wise move. I was just mentioning the 88000 thing so that the code made sense.

I was thinking of just blanket applying it to all GT215+ chips after we do some spot checks for safety -- the chip can be determined based on PCI id (http://envytools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/hw/pciid.html). There are more GPU pci ids than there are users of nouveau... and the failure has nothing to do with the pci id but rather with the platform and/or vbios author. It's a somewhat widespread problem among laptops and still happens with new ones. I suspect it was treated as a BIOS feature rather than a bug -- you get a second audio device and confuse the user about which one is the "real audio". There are even some laptops which make the audio function appear based on HDMI cable presence at boot (and I think make it appear/disappear dynamically in Windows). > >> - This fixup will be applied no matter what.

I'll try to work something up and get it tested by affected users.
